Connecting community through sewing, creativity and zero-waste practice in Aotearoa.
Local Fibre is a community-driven creative initiative that brings together people who love to make, mend, and connect.
Valuing sustainability, community, and shared learning, we offer welcoming spaces for fibre crafters of all kinds—knitters, stitchers, upcyclers, weavers, and curious beginners—to gather, share skills, and spark inspiration.
Promoting zero-waste practices, reuse, and mindful consumption of textile resources.
Creating spaces where everyone can learn, teach, and grow together regardless of skill level.
Join us for Fibre & Friends and other community sewing events.

Join us for Fibre & Friends, a full-day celebration of creativity, community, and conscious making. Bring along your own projects and connect with fellow makers across all skill levels and disciplines – whether you're into sewing, knitting, mending, embroidery, crochet, or just curious to learn. It's a chance to share ideas, pick up new skills, and be inspired by others in a relaxed, inclusive space. You'll find dedicated tables hosted by skilled creatives, a community upcycled haberdashery (koha-based), and plenty of tea, coffee, and good chats. This is a zero-waste-friendly, BYO lunch event with koha entry.
Welcoming spaces for makers of all skill levels.
Regular meetups where makers come together to work on their own projects in a supportive, social environment. All skill levels welcome.
Learn new techniques from experienced makers. From basic mending to advanced techniques, we cover a range of skills for sustainable textile practices.
Transform worn clothes into beautiful, unique pieces through visible mending and creative patching techniques.
Resource-sharing for a creative, low-waste Aotearoa.
All patterns are free to download. If you'd like to support our work, koha (donation) options will be available soon.
Have questions or want to get involved? We'd love to hear from you.
