Welcome to The Thread Room! We are Millie and Rosemary. Here at the Thread Room we offer Sewing classes for children and adults from beginners to experienced. Between us both we have a lot of experience. Millie has done the Bachelor of Fashion and started Certificate in teaching and Rosemary has done Certificate in  Pattern Drafting and Apprenticeship in Sewing. We both used to run the classes at Bernina but thought it was time to make something of our own and use our skills that we worked for, so that’s why we started the The Thread Room. We will be offering fabric and Haberdashery in the near future. If your interested in our classes please email us at thethreadroom@outlook.com or check our Facebook & Instagram under @Thethreadroom. 

 × I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember! For context- I studied at Awatapu College, UCOL (culinary Arts), The Learning Connexion (Diploma Honours – Art & Creativity) along with Floristry & Horticulture recently

× I’m passionate about the environment & sustainability & contributing to my local community creativity.

× My petite open studio is a place to bring together my many art forms such as: willow weavings (vessels,baskets, sculptural pieces), floral arrangements (fresh/dried/commissions), handmade cards, hand carved wooden jewelry (a collaboration with my father).

× My “Culinary × Medicine” project is a private chef initiative, where I work with what’s available (in home or in an event space). I focus on small gatherings, with local produce. I love rescued before landfill food that is often under estimated, with food sovereignty in mind.

× I have a passion for formal dining & canapé formations of edible art. Dietry requirements are a speciality of mine, with experience previously working for a wonderful high- scale production catering company in Wellington.

× I create with the seasons & aim to be in harmony with our whenua, in an honoring manner appreciating the abundance available, only harvesting what I need & giving back!
