We are delighted to announce our new name and location for the Fabric, Needlecraft and More store!

Our new-look store will open on Friday 7 September from 9am - 2pm at Unit 5, 2 Holker St, Newington. Further trading days and hours are soon to be announced as we settle into our new location. We hope to see you there :) http://bit.ly/the-sewing-basket

To help reduce litter and care for our environment, we have joined as a major charity partner with Return and Earn TOMRA Cleanaway Collection Points. You can help by returning empty bottles, cans and cartons to your nearest RVM (reverse vending machine) and by selecting Achieve Australia as your preferred charity. Funds raised will support our My Life programs to help people with disability learn new skills, explore work options or pursue their passions and interests.

Funding for the NDIS needs to be secured to ensure the ongoing viability of the Scheme. However, more work is required to make the Scheme effective and fair for participants and disability service providers alike. https://achieveaustralia.org.au/fund-it-a nd-fix-it-ndis-ca…/
