Divas!!!!?? We sold out already 😵 thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket, I'm so excited to get started in a couple of weeks.
If you missed out and are still keen on getting involved, sound off in the comments below or send us a DM so we can gauge interest and maybe book in a cheeky weeknight slot 💖
WE'RE BACK, BABES 🎉🚨💖🏳️⚧️
For 4 weeks starting on 31st of May, we return to Kathleen Syme library!!!
We are doing things a little differently this time - shorter classes, less paperwork, more hands-on learning and sewing. Tickets are now bundled too, meaning you get all 4 weeks in one purchase. Still free 4 mob of course, and still accepting donations to the cause - we are entirely volunteer run and depend on the goodwill of our students and local businesses to do what we do?
Any questions, feel free to shoot a message! Otherwise I'm super excited to welcome you to another round of TOUCH CLOTH yewwwww.
Booking via link in highlights xoxo
We are sneaking in another event before the weather truly turns on us!
Have a yap, or a goss, or a yarn with us for another TG picnic at 12pm Saturday 18th April at Edi Gardens.

New date is a fortnight from the original, Sunday 22nd Feb. Carpool discussion in the comments pls, thanks again for thine understanding!!
Sunday hike day coming up!!! Let's get a carpool going in the comments :) please comment if you're driving and happy to provide a lift, what suburb you're leaving from and how many seats you have in your car! Those looking for a lift can reply or DM.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!!
Ready for adventure?! Come for a 🏳️⚧️ hike 🏳️⚧️ while the weather is still nice!

That's a wrap! With the overwhelming support and success of our first workshop series, we would like to extend a huge thank you to every one who bought tickets, made generous donations, spread the word, baked treats, organised, & generally made the first round of T.C. possible - it takes a village! We not only broke even but, with $400 made, have excess funds which have been donated to Pay the Rent.
90% of total tickets sold over 6 classes - a huge result that I could not have dreamed of when first putting this series together.
The total cost of our first series was $373 - (and 29 cents). This included materials we couldn't get donated, booking fees, and printing of class materials.
$27 of funds donated to @grassroots_ptr - $26.71 to be exact. Having excess funds to donate couldn't be possible without the interest and generosity of students and donors alike, as well the immense bounty of donated materials from @melbourneartsupplies and @covidnaarm which we are forever grateful for!
When I began building Touch Cloth, I could never in a million years have anticipated the overwhelming support it would receive from businesses, communities, students, friends....I am so so overjoyed with how it turned out and beyond proud of the effort each and every student put in to the classes - from mending our loved garments to drafting and designing our own from scratch.
While I'm a bit sad that the series has ended (wth am I going to do on Mondays now??), Touch Cloth is just beginning. More to be revealed in the coming days, stay tuned and share around if you know someone wanting to get stuck in to making their own clothing patterns x
For the dirt-loving divas out there, we are back with another season of Touch Dirt trans garden club. Whether you want to get your hands dirty or just warm your winter bones in the sun, please feel welcome to come and hang out in the dirt with the plants and the bugs with us!
Monthly working bees (with some fortnightly sessions to be announced):
• Sunday 21st September
• Sunday 19th October
• Sunday 23rd November
See you in the garden!

We all have clothes we are transitioning into and out of. Let’s keep it in the family, get our spring-summer collections in order, and be part of this clothes-swap event for our trans family in Naarm.
The event will run from 10am onwards. The space at Thorne Harbour (located at 200 Hoddle st Abbotsford)
is on the 1st floor and is wheelchair accessible.
Just a short distance from Victoria Park Station.
If you would like to donate, please get in contact with us! Please keep in mind donating clothes that you think someone would like to wear. No damaged or dirty items. If you have spare hangers, please bring them on the day and we can return them after the event.
With love from TGP xo
Something different for the cold season. Come for a walk in a lush forest!
Did you know nature is super queer? Come nerd out about nature, mushrooms, birds, and more or just come for a chat and a vibe with community in beautiful Kinglake National Park.
We're going to meet at the Mason's Falls Picnic Ground at 12pm.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or to introduce yourself if it's your first time going to a TG event.
There will possibly be limited spots for a lift so please send a DM and we'll try our best to accommodate you.
