Come sew with me

Without this service the art of sewing may be forgotten, let's keep people upskill alive through sewing

Masterton, Wellington

We are a Working Vintage Sewing Machine Museum where all are welcome to come in and use my collection of handcranked, treadled and electric sewing machines lovely, welcoming and homely atmosphere using do fabric, patterns and notions

Payment is by koha which generally pays for materials use and also to provide sustenance for those who are welcomed into the lovely Rose Cottage where we are open on Weekdays and the 1st Saturday of every month

Men, Women and children of all ages and abilities have and continue to benefit from coming to sew with me where they regain self worth as they tap into their creative ability in learning a new craft.

The difficulty we have is in paying for the rent and though we are assured that we will eventually receive funding we are finding this difficult and meanwhile the rent still needs to be paid.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
