Community Sewing Bee — This Saturday!
Just two days to go!
Our Community Upcycling Sewing Bee is happening this Saturday 25 October, and we can’t wait to get creative together!
Bring your sewing machine, enthusiasm, or even just helping hands — there’s always something to do: cutting, ironing, unpicking, or sewing for a great cause.
Why we’re sewing:
All proceeds from our upcycled products go towards raising awareness of ovarian cancer — a disease that takes the lives of one New Zealand woman every 48 hours. Early detection saves lives, so every stitch counts.
With International Repair Day just behind us (18 October), this is the perfect time to celebrate repair, reuse, and community action.
Saturday 25 October
Rothesay Bay Hall, Cnr Rothesay Bay Road & Beulah Ave
Drop in any time between 10am & 3pm
Fabrics kindly supported by Thread Lightly, who will also join us on the day!

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
