We are getting closer to setting up a New Plymouth version of Upsewing!
What we need now, for Hāwera and Ngāmotu (New Plymouth), is more sewing machines. If you have a machine you would like to donate to us, please get in touch.
We don't mind if it's a bit dusty or has a known issue but please don't dump your rusty, hard to use machines on us! We use these machines to teach children and adults how to sew so they need to be easy to use and care for. We can get them serviced if it's been a while since they've been used though.
You will receive 6 Hours per machine, 10 hours for an overlocker.

The Upsewing project is in need of an iron - in good condition with no issues with the chord, our last one had to be eliminated.

Do you have items you want to trade for time?
We have a couple of raffles planned, one with a focus on Winter Wellness (we will be selling tickets at the Hāwera Winter Festival), and Kai Resilience (We'll be drawing this one is spring at one of our workshops).
If you think you have something we could put into a box/basket to raffle off please get in touch!
Think warm blankets or slippers, hot water bottle cover (unsewn or knitted), wheat bags, dried lemons, honey, anything you enjoy in Winter!
For the Kai Resilience one anything garden or kitchen related would be wonderful.
