Sew Much to Love — September Handmade Market 🌸🧵 Te Atatū Peninsula

Sew Much to Love Market — Made with Skill & Stitches
Saturday 12 September 2026 | 10am–2pm

Join us in Te Atatu Peninsula on Saturday 12 September 2026 —  where you'll find there’s sew much to love about handmade.

Celebrating both Sewing Month and Self-Care Awareness Month, this September market brings together local makers and an ever-changing mix of handmade creations, unique gifts and beautiful things.  You'll find us back in the Main Foyer, Dotterel and Godwit rooms and we cannot wait!

  

Our Sew Much to Love Market is all about celebrating the skill, imagination and creativity that goes into making things by hand — and encouraging you to take a little time for yourself, too.

 

Whether you're looking for something for you or your home, a special gift, something practical, something delicious or simply something that makes you smile, you'll find plenty to discover at our smaller market.

Expect a changing mix of local makers and handmade creations, which can include:

🧵 Sewing, crochet, knitting and fibrecraft
💍 Handmade jewellery and accessories
🪴 Plants and things for your home
🕯️ Candles and beautiful handmade creations
🎨 Art, stationery and creative pieces
🏺 Pottery and ceramics
💝 Unique gifts
🍫 Delicious handmade treats
✨ And more!

And because self-care doesn't have to be complicated, perhaps your little bit of self-care will simply be taking a little time to wander around, enjoy the atmosphere, chat with local makers and find something lovely just for you.

Made with Skill & Stitches

From carefully stitched creations to beautifully crafted pieces, every handmade item has a story behind it — and every maker has their own skills, ideas and imagination.

Come and meet those makers behind their creations, support local creators and discover something you won't find on a supermarket shelf, in a shopping mall, or mass-produced in a factory.

So bring a friend, bring the family, bring your perfectly-behaved pooch, bring your shopping list — or don't bring one at all!
