Thread Den is not in any way, shape or form related to all those other smoky dark dingy dens scattered in and around Melbourne's more seedier locales. Instead it is a light-filled space that houses local designs, vintage finds, a Sewing Lounge and many lovely ladies in waiting.
The Sewing Lounge puts on a variety of classes: from beginner all the way up to advanced, perfect for the bright-eyed novices as well as master machinists. They also provide machine hire for that fabulous dress/skirt/top/pants/poncho that you picked up but have never worn because it needed just a little nip here and a little tuck there. Get together a 'sewing posse' and check out some of the classes on offer. Think Winona in How to make an American Quilt, apart from the bit where someone says "I think the hardest part of being a woman is having woman friends."
All things worth finding are well hidden. This den of activity is located down a cobblestone alley off of ye olde Errol street and up a flighty flight of stairs. Find. Sew. Enjoy.
