Save the date on your calendar here!
If you joined us for our ten year anniversary back in 2017, the day will be very similar. Doors open at 11am with the first one hundred customers receiving a ticket they can redeem at the cash desk on their way out for a special swag bag filled with goodies from our generous vendors, friends and neighbours with any $50 purchase. There will be a store-wide discount, so you can also treat yourself to any of the amazing things that are currently rolling in to the shop over the next seven days, including Merchant & Mills. We will have some special guest vendors in the shop for the day as well. Enjoy refreshing frozen Paletas from @hielitobits, pick up a new piece of porcelain jewelry from @catmamola or a beautifully illustrated card, sticker or artwork from @kathydecastroillustration. Lastly, there will be a grand raffle prize you can buy tickets to win a wonderful assortment of goodies. Keep an eye this coming week on our instagram @_theworkoom. We'll be showcasing all the donations and swag there for you to see throughout the week leading up to next Saturday. If you can't make it or don't live in Toronto, we'll be posting raffle tickets in our online shop and having a one day sale for you on Sunday August 20th, so you can still celebrate with us from afar!
Our Limited Edition Sweet 16 Tote Bags are finished and on their way to us from BC. They will arrive just in time. We can't wait to show you how they turned out!
Please note! This will also be the final day that the shop will be open to the public. The following week, we'll be packing up and dismantling the shop for our two big moves to our new locations in Parkdale & Sprucedale.

Printed & Inspired : This Week’s PDF Pattern Picks
We’re constantly discovering new indie PDF sewing patterns through your A0 Wide Format print orders. Every time we load up the printer, we spot designs that spark ideas and connect us with creative makers around the world. Here are a few that caught our eye recently, maybe they’ll inspire your next make too.
Introducing PDF Pattern Printing at the workroom
You asked, we listened. Printing sewing patterns at home is frustrating - trimming, taping, scaling issues, and endless paper waste. That’s why the workroom now offers wide-format A0 printing for PDF patterns. Your pattern arrives full size, no prep required, just cut and sew.
