The Nest Haberdashery Thrift Shop

The Nest Haberdashery is a volunteer-led social enterprise operated by women’s charity, The Nest Community. They sort donations from the public in the Textile Recovery Centre and sell them in the Haberdashery, or use them in the craft mentoring program for high school students.

The organisation’s core values are sustainability, skill sharing, and handmade living. The Haberdashery stocks donated preloved and vintage fabrics, yarn, patterns, haberdashery notions, and even sewing machines.

Revenue from the haberdashery funds low-cost craft workshops and a free mentoring program for girls from local schools.

The friendly Haberdashery volunteers are always ready to share their knowledge and help with advice about fabric, crafting, and handmade skills. And of course they all love to have a chat about making.
