welcome to the nest
Since 2014, The Nest Community has connected women purposefully through craft. With a team of 120 skilled volunteers, we operate a Textile Recovery Centre in Brendale, with donations sold through our social enterprise, The Nest Haberdashery. Our recirculated textiles, sewing equipment and notions are a low-cost, high quality resource for Brisbane’s Maker Community.
Discover more about us through our free online magazine, ZIGZAG . Filled with gorgeous images and heartwarming stories ZIGZAG captures our heart and soul.
