Canadian Designed + Produced Goods
the workroom has a long history of cheering on Canadian designed + produced goods. Our support and shout outs are an ever evolving aspect of our shop practices.
Deliveries arrive on foot from the neighbourhood, are dropped off while visiting the city, or by post from across the country. We look forward to seeking unique products, originating close to home.
Did you know that the workroom was the first shop to put Uppercase Magazine and Kiriki Press Embroidery Kits on our shelves?... and still do!

fabric + treats + kits + notions + patterns + publications
the workroom Team likes a party! Folks have come to anticipate our regular community events as an opportunity to peruse locally made artisanal crafts alongside our unique shop experience. We love to share the enthusiasm and support around gatherings and goods constructed with care.
pop-up maker markets + shop celebrations + Handmade Getaways
Many friendly faces have walked through our doors over the years. We are fortunate to be surrounded by a hub of imaginative people, pursuing life adventures of their very own, sharing their talents as part of our shop team on their journey.
