CRAFTY BIZ: new stuff at the workroom

the workroom has been very busy expanding its crafty offerings. We've recently acquired a second button press. You can rent either a 1" or a 1.25" button press by the hour to make buttons for your band, your friend's art opening or just because you love buttons! the workroom sells all the button components and provides circle cutters, as well. It is possible to do an overnight rental if you want the button press for your child's birthday party or if you just plan on making hundreds of cute buttons. Please get in touch to reserve time on the button press - makesomething@theworkroom.ca. In addition, there are also lino block printing supplies, bottle cutters, needle felting tools and a Gocco printer on our current equipment list.

Everybody loves Amy Butler and so does the workroom! We now carry Amy Butler fabric (the new Midwest Modern line is on the shelves and it looks amazing!), the entire Amy Butler sewing pattern line and both of her books. We are also carrying a growing range of sewing patterns (oliver + s, My Favorite Things, The Apron Lady) and crafty-related books (Doodle Stitching, Sew U, Lotta Prints). We've also just brought in an awesome new fibrefill that is eco-friendly, 100% nature-based, hypoallergenic and washable. This fibrefill from Eco-craft is made from renewable resource corn and feels so soft! Check out our flickr site to browse all our new offerings or drop by the shop (1340 Queen Street West). If there is some craft-related item you're looking for, let us know and we'll try to find it for you!
