Christchurch's Community Sewing Facility
Sew for yourself. Sew for the community.

Welcome!

​Stitch-O-Mat is a community sewing facility based in the Surfside Mall in New Brighton, Christchurch.

New Brighton Stitch-O-Mat offers the community a resource for upskilling sewing skills and a hands-on way to recycle fabric and develop creativity. Machines are available for people to use for their own sewing project, or to sew for community projects

Stitch-O-Mat also offers a Learn-to-Sew class and Sustainability Workshops. 

Everyone is invited to come along and experience Stitch-O-Mat for a koha (donation), bring your own project or pick one of ours (like veggie market bags, reusable sandwich bag, book bag, swim bag and more).

Stitch-O-Mat is a Charitable Trust created by Samantha Fay and Bridget Allen. Supported by the Stitch-O-Mat Board of Trustees.
