What is Thread Den? Sewing and craft workshops, drop-in sewing lounge, The North Melbourne Market, L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival & Melbourne Spring Fashion Week special designer events, Dressed by Thread Den blog.
Thread Den is an emporium of style with several strings to our shiny bow: We’re a sewing lounge offering a full program for absolute beginners and blossoming sewers; we host The North Melbourne Market, a monthly get together of over 75 independent designers and vintage suppliers; our bi-annual events for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW) and L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) showcase the best of independent Australian design; and our blog, Dressed by Thread Den is a daily read of great design and stylish happenings.
In 2007 The ladies from Thread Den had a wonderful idea to create a communal space for lovers of all things fashion and so created a unique kind of place in North Melbourne, Australia’s first combined sewing lounge and retail store where stylish sorts could browse, buy or sew. As our classes and workshops became increasingly popular we stepped away from retail to focus on developing a strong program of exciting vintage inspired projects.
The North Melbourne Market began as a one-off event in 2009 and soon turned into a monthly affair with two special fashion events for MSFW and LMFF. The market is a platform for independent designers and vintage suppliers too.
With a strong online following, Thread Den launched a blog in 2012, Dressed by Thread Den, to spread some style love; whether we’re making it, you’re wearing it or someone talented is designing it.
Ad hoc events such as social sewing and craft soirees, kids parties and Thread Hens bridal showers also put a smile on our faces.
