We're finally giving you a sneak peek into our beautiful Parkdale Studio that will be located at 207 Cowan Avenue. Located just one block west of our current location and behind the Parkdale Public Library sits a sweet heritage building that was formerly a switchboard office for Bell Canada. Some updates and renovations are being done to the unit before we take over at the beginning of September, but this photo gives you a glimpse at how perfect this bright space will be as a welcoming workshop space for us to continue to make and learn together in.
We are aware more than ever that our community energy is so powerful, productive and inspiring. This has really been our guiding light as we navigate our way through these major upcoming changes. What we give comes back to us many times over and we've never been more grateful to have you in our corner.
Let's keep showing up for each other,
Karyn
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.
We're making plans to welcome everyone, from everywhere, up to the workroom for our Fall Maker Market and 18 Year Anniversary Celebration on Saturday October 4, 2025, 11am-4pm!
Just a quick note to let you know we're keeping a close eye on the potential Canada Post strike to ensure your orders still get to you without delay.
We have already started using our alternate courier services to keep things running smoothly for you. Please note that we will not be able to ship to PO Boxes in the meantime.
Sprucedale maker space/shop for fabric, notions, patterns, books, sewing machines, inspiration, and project cheerleading.
We acknowledge and deeply appreciate that the land on which we now live and operate in Sprucedale, within the Almaguin Highlands, is part of the traditional and ancestral territory of many Indigenous peoples, including the Anishinaabeg, specifically the Ojibwe and Algonquin nations.
This region is situated within the lands covered by the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850, and remains home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
We honor the enduring presence and stewardship of Indigenous communities - past, present, and future and we commit to ongoing learning, respect, and relationship with the land and its original caretakers.
