City of Craft Spring
City of Craft Spring is this weekend, and the workroom’s sweet city women will be there!
At the workroom table, you’ll find patterns, scrap bundles, back issues of Uppercase, fat quarter bundles, select vintage patterns, little notions, and whatever other little treats we can fit in the truck! And, the other vendors will have new handmade items and some vintage supplies and goodies. There will be lots of new vendors this year!
Bernina Spring Forward Sale
All sewing machines and sergers at the workroom are made by Bernina. We love the quality, reliability and ease-of-use with these machines. Every Bernina sewing machine or serger comes with a one year warranty and private lesson to learn all about your new machine.
The Craft Sessions
Do you see us turning blue? That’s because we’re proud as peacocks of our special handwork teacher, Carolanne Graham. Carolanne was just featured in Melbourne craft blog, The Craft Sessions!
2014 Row by Row Winner
Congratulations to Kathy McCallum! Kathy was the first person to bring a completed quilt to the workroom during the shop hop. Kathy's quilt contained eight rows from different stores around Ontario, including our Sunburst pattern.
Ontario Row by Row Shop Hop
the workroom is very excited to participate in this year's Ontario Row by Row Shop Hop! The concept is super fun and there are over 80 quilt shops in Ontario that are taking part. Each shop has designed a quilt row based on the theme 'Sew a Season'.
Sixth Anniversary
Every October we like to celebrate our anniversary with you! This year marks our sixth year. Today, October 8th from 6-9pm we'll be having our annual party - there will be lots of good cheese, drinks, and snacks. Plus, there will be prizes.
New Class : Indigo
Since Indigo is so unique, we wanted to offer a longer and more intensive opportunity for students to work with this beautiful blue dye. Indigo also increases in intensity with each consecutive dip in the vat, so the longer you have to work, the deeper the shades of blue you can achieve.
the workroom's first website
When the workroom first opened I had needed a website but didn’t have a budget for it. Our graphic designer, Andrew Cloutier, designed five simple, yet beautiful static pages. Each page was framed in one of the fabrics from the shop from those early days.
