Welcome to Stitchery & Co
A unique creative hub aimed at filling the gap in Textiles Education and creating a space where textile small businesses can thrive. We have three beautifully curated spaces inside our historical Melba Hall for you to explore. Each space is set up so that clients can take a class or workshop, host an event or presentation, or hire our sought-after equipment in studio, for their own creative endeavours. Whether you’re looking to learn, teach, hire equipment or simply want an inspiring place to sew, our spaces can be moulded to your needs.

Host with us
We can’t wait for you to teach and inspire others to create.Take a tour of the historical Melba Hall and see how we’ve transformed her interior with respect and care. Opened in Croydon by Dame Nellie Melba on the 30th of July 1927, we took on the space in December 2020 and spent 18 months renovating. Locals are thrilled to see that the hall has undergone extensive loving treatment after its doors opened 95 years ago.
Apart from our three creative spaces, the studio also offers a retail space where a selection of fabrics, tools and notions are available for purchase. A kitchenette, bathroom and laundry are also available for use.
We can’t wait for you to teach and inspire others to create.
Stitchery and Co. is brimming with exciting, inspiring and informative events. We always envisioned a space where people from all walks of life could gather and thoroughly immerse themselves in the art of sewing and design.
