Threads at The Edge

Drop by Open lab on the third Wednesday bimonthly from 2.30 - 7.30 pm and utilise the expertise of our specialist fashion facilitator, Jim Eng. A great chance to extend your skill set after undertaking our sewing induction, you can get support with the sewing machines, pattern making and general fashion fabrication.   

You must have completed a sewing induction to use the sewing machines and overlocker at The Edge, and we also don't allow personal machines to be brought on-site, however that shouldn't stop you from dropping by to get some advice on your sewing projects. 

If you would like to undertake an induction, sign up to our enewsletter to be notified of our monthly sessions.  

Please be aware that our facilitator's time is limited depending on how many people attend the drop in sessions. 

How do I find it?  

Open Lab is located on Level 1 of The Edge.
