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.

Printed & Inspired : A0 Highlights for the First Week of December
So many of you were able to advantage of our recent Digital Cosy Season Sale and the opportunity to pick up your orders at City of Craft this weekend. We see so many great indie PDF sewing patterns come through our A0 Wide Format printer each week, and it’s always fun to spot designs we haven’t tried yet.
Printed & Inspired : NEW Merchant & Mills PDFS
We added several brand new Merchant & Mills PDF patterns to the online shop this week. This includes several fun gift options like the Alberta Trapper hat, the Braemar Mittens and the Francli Dopp Bag. Grab just the PDF or add on the wide format print version. If you haven't had a chance to try out our new AO PDF printing service, don't forget you can order your patterns for pick up next weekend at City of Craft. We can print any designer pdf patterns you have purchased, just upload the A0 version of the pattern and follow the instructions.
