Thread Heads: Fabric & Fashion Market

Join Next Door Ottawa and Ottawa Markets Collective for Thread Heads: Fabric & Fashion Market, a celebration of slow fashion, sewing, creativity and sustainable shopping!

Designed for sewists, makers, vintage lovers and anyone passionate about sustainable slow fashion, Thread Heads brings together a curated marketplace featuring:
✂️ Local designers
🧵 Fabric vendors
📏 Sewing supplies
📚 Fashion created with sustainable, reclaimed, and ethically sourced materials.

Beyond shopping for supplies for your next project, attendees can enjoy a weekend of inspiration with a fashion show, engaging talks, and educational discussions exploring personal style, garment making, fabric selection, sustainability, mending, and the future of conscious fashion.

We’re also proud to support our community in two ways!
1- Toiletries Drive: Donate toiletry items throughout the event in support of the Parkdale Food Centre.
2- Pay-What-You-Can Fabric & Notions Booth: Shop donated fabrics, trims, patterns, and sewing supplies. All proceeds from this booth will be donated to the Parkdale Food Centre.

Whether you’re an experienced sewist, an aspiring designer, a thrift enthusiast or simply curious about creating a more sustainable wardrobe, Thread Heads is a place to connect, learn, shop and celebrate the art of making & wearing clothing with intention.

Come stitch together a more sustainable future, one garment at a time.
