Learn to sew & love the earth.

Sew Love is a social enterprise providing pop-up fun spaces and resources for people to be creative, learn new skills, and get to know their neighbours. We focus on reducing landfill and strengthening communities in a fun positive way.

What we do.

Sew Love is all about providing an opportunity, space and resources for people and communities to come together, do something practical for themselves, each other and the environment. In our workshops, we focus on re-using discarded resources and treasures, meeting your neighbours, and creating a more meaningful life.

Sew Love On Tour

Touring the South Island NEXT SUMMER.

See us in action and join a class!

We are taking the fun of creative sustainability on the road, in a mobile sewing lounge/tea house/op shop loving super truck! This summer we are headed to the beautiful SOUTH! We will be parking up beachside or at your local op shop with treasures and shared resources so you can have a go at sewing, mending, sipping iced tea, and keeping our Aotearoa clean and beautiful.

Sitka have jumped on board this summer tour and we will be selling Sitka seconds and doing FREE Sitka repairs everywhere we go, to help share their ethos of community & sustainability!

If you see us parked up, come and say kia ora!

  • What a fun way to learn & make friends. Sarah is an enthusiastic and extremely talented teacher. Her commitment to the planet whilst creating a fantastically unique wardrobe is inspiring!

  • The teachers, as well as the students enjoyed having Sarah Sew Love at our school. One student from our Yr 10 class mentioned 'It was the best workshop I've had so far this year'.
