Hi there!
Welcome to Weft and Warp- your home for all things garment sewing- fabrics, patterns, supplies, and classes. Whether you’re visiting us in person or online, we’re sure you’ve found your happy place.
The true origins for Weft and Warp probably go back to the 1980’s, when Matthew’s mum owned a craft shop and Rebecca’s mum worked there. A spark was lit that slowly smouldered over the next few decades. First seriously investigating opening a fabric shop of their own in about 2010, it wasn’t until 2021 that they were able to bring their dream to reality.
We’re passionate about helping you to create beautiful clothes you love, to fit the body you have. It doesn’t matter whether you have never threaded a needle or if you have been sewing for more years than you care to remember. Our fabrics, supplies, patterns, A0 printing service and classes are all designed to provide what you need.
We’re also serious about minimising fabric waste, which is why we sell our fabrics in 10 cm increments. Why should you have to buy more fabric than you really need? We extend this ethos to our sewing workshops, where none of the fabric scraps created go to landfill.
Because we all sew too, we know the sorts of challenges that sewing can throw your way, so we’re happy to share our expertise and experience. We also know how immensely rewarding and satisfying making your own clothes can be, so we’ll be your cheer squad and encourage you along the way.
And if you’re in Canberra, drop in and visit us in person- we love meeting you!
Happy sewing,
Rebecca, Matthew and Team W+W
