Christchurch's Community Sewing Facitity
Sew for yourself. Sew for the community.

Welcome!

​Stitch-O-Mat is a community sewing room based in Room 1 at The Old School in New Brighton, Christchurch.

New Brighton Stitch-O-Mat offers the community a resource for upskilling sewing skills and a hands-on way to recycle fabric and develop creativity. Machines are available for people to use for their own sewing project, or to sew for a community project such as the Veggie Co-op bags or costumes for the Childrens' Ward at Christchurch Hospital.

Stitch-O-Mat also offers a Learn-to-Sew class and Sustainability Workshops, plus more workshops for children and seasonal events.  This years we have also begun an artist in residents program.

Everyone is invited to come along and experience Stitch-O-Mat for a koha (donation). Come along and bring your own project or pick one of ours (like veggie market bags, reusable sandwich bag, book bag, swim bag and more).

Stitch-O-Mat is a Charitable Trust created by Samantha Fay and Bridget Allen. Supported by the Stitch-O-Mat Board of Trustees.
