Welcome to The Makery: A Creative Home for Revelstoke Makers
Our very first blog post!
After months of dreaming, planning, unpacking mountains of fabric bolts, and turning a little retail space into a bright, cosy hub of creativity, The Makery is officially opening its doors in Revelstoke — and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you in.
The Makery was created with one goal in mind: to build a space where people who love making things feel instantly at home. Whether you sew garments, knit sweaters, mend beloved clothing, crochet tiny critters, embroider, quilt, or simply like being around colour and creativity — this space is for you.
🌿 Why The Makery Exists
Revelstoke is a town full of wildly talented, wonderfully creative people. But until now, there hasn’t been a dedicated spot for fibre and fabric lovers to shop, gather, learn, and connect. The Makery is here to change that.
Inside our little 1600-square-foot rainbow of joy, you’ll find:
- Beautiful garment fabrics curated with intention
- Squishy yarns from around the globe and established makers
- Essential notions & tools
- Craft kits, books, and maker-friendly gifts
- A cozy corner to sit, knit, stitch, or sip a tea
And coming soon… a full lineup of workshops, classes, and social nights
We’re blending retail with community — a place where you can browse for your next project, ask questions, learn new skills, and meet other makers in town.
✂️ What You’ll Find on This Blog
This blog will be an extension of everything we love: colour, creativity, community, and a little bit of behind-the-scenes chaos.
You can expect:
- Maker spotlights featuring local sewists, knitters, and artists
- Project ideas & tutorials for every skill level
- Fabric & yarn guides to help you feel confident choosing materials
- Seasonal inspiration for slow, intentional making
- Updates from inside the shop (including new arrivals!)
And honest reflections on building a small creative business in a mountain town
Think of it as a warm cup of tea, a gentle pep talk, and a friendly “you can absolutely make that!” all rolled into one.
🧵 Thank You, Revelstoke
As we open our doors for the first time, we want to say the biggest thank you to everyone who has cheered us on, shared our posts, messaged encouragement, or patiently waited while inspections dragged on and boxes kept arriving.
Your support means the world. Truly.
And we’re so excited to finally welcome you into The Makery — a place made for makers, by a maker.
Here’s to new projects, new friendships, and lots of colourful, joy-filled creating.
Let’s make something beautiful, Revelstoke. 💜
