June Community Meeting
Theme: Finland Special
This month, we’re heading north for a Finland Special – a community gathering filled with local tips, insider stories, and creative inspiration from the Finnish sewing scene.
We’ll be sharing our favourite fabric shops, flea markets, museums, and cultural stops for anyone planning to visit Finland – whether this summer or one day in the future. You'll also get a peek into Finnish sewing culture, past and present, and how it continues to shape our craft community today.
From independent designers and traditional textiles to unique second-hand treasures, this session is a celebration of creativity rooted in place.
When? 18 June
Time? 18:00 Helsinki time
Where? Online – Free & Open to All
Whether you’re visiting Finland soon or simply curious about the Nordic sewing spirit – join us for this summer-inspired conversation!
July Community Meeting
Theme: Issue No.16 “ARCHITECTURE”
What makes a garment architectural? Is it the structure, the silhouette—or the vision behind it?
In this special community meeting, we’ll open the pages of the new ARCHITECTURE issue and explore the deeper connections between fashion and the built environment. From bold, sculptural sewing patterns to essays that reflect on design as care, this issue invites us to rethink how we build, wear, and maintain the world around us.
We’ll discuss the inspirations behind the issue, share behind-the-scenes stories, and dive into conversations about form, structure, and the quieter acts of making—mending, reimagining, and tending to what already exists.
Whether you're drawn to garments that hold space or to the invisible magic of well-made seams, this is a meeting for all who love slow fashion, deep thinking, and creative connection.
When? 16 July
Time? 18:00 Helsinki time
Where? Online – Free & Open to All
Join us as we celebrate the launch of ARCHITECTURE and come together to reflect on the structures—both visible and invisible—that shape our wardrobes, our cities, and our craft.
