About this Event
Sewing for Charity Australia (SFCA) is a volunteer-powered network creating handmade items that offer comfort, dignity, and practical support to people in need.
What started as a small group of makers has grown into a nationwide community, coordinating, crafting, and delivering with care.
We believe in the power of connection. Through every stitch, we build community—supporting individuals, strengthening bonds, and spreading kindness across Australia.
Together, we’re creating more than just handmade items. We’re crafting hope, one piece at a time.
Sewing for Charity Australia works in partnership with established charities as well as grassroots community groups that engage in direct giving. We also donate directly to hospitals, nursing homes, schools and almost anywhere that needs some handmade love!
We are passionate about reducing textile waste and wherever possible engage in sustainable practice by upcycling used textiles and clothing to make handmade items for donation.
Join us as we work on our current monthly project and charity sewing/ knitting requests at The Sewing Lair.
All supplies provided and we have sewing machines available for use.
No experience necessary - we also need ironers, turners, cutters and more so if you aren't crafty but would like a cuppa please feel free to join us.
Rather than setting a ticket price for this event, we ask that you consider making a donation instead. Any amount, no matter how small, is appreciated. Any dontation made goes straight back into running these wonderful sessions, providing the materials and resources that allow us to keep supporting our community.
We understand that some people may only be able to contribute their time rather than financially, and we appreciate your time more than anything!
We can't wait to see you at our next session!
