Community Sewing

At Tiger we make various items for the community, join us to help with the making and improve skills at the same time.

Tiger Green Textiles is about bringing people together to learn and share skills. We also continue to support the community by making items for a local hospital, that support period poverty, that support women going into refuges, merchandise for groups and Tiger.

We also have our eye on sustainability, sharing ideas on how to make simple changes to be more sustainable with your sewing projects..

We are excited to bring you our new sewing group taking place fortnightly at All Souls Community Centre.

• Give back by helping us make items for the community
• Learn skills from the range of items we make - drain bags, heart cushions, menstrual pads, toiletry bags, upcycled bags, handsewn keyrings, custom items
• New to sewing and need some practice in a supportive environment - this is not a sewing class but you will pick up tips
• Opportunities to sew from home

Come and sew with us in a firendly social group with help when you need it.
