Matthew describes himself as a heel wearing stud muffin channelling his authentic otherness.

You'll find Matthew on Instagram and Tik Tok @hessewmatthew

Did I mention Matthew was a contestant on the Great British Sewing Bee Series 9? He is very easy to chat to and so supportive of the people around him. Matthew is a huge fan of Esme.

You'll hear his story and the type of sewing he is known for. Matthew breaks the rules and is always interested in showing a bit of skin with his designs. I love his plaid fabric works

Kay, Sarah and Jo talk about how they're involved with The Nest Community and how their involvement means something to them too.

Kay and Sarah volunteer at The Nest Community. Jo is a teacher at Mitchelton High School and has brought groups of students to take part in The Exhange Project since 2021.

The Nest Community is a Brisbane charity that connects women purposefully through craft. The organisation has just undergone expansion and moved from a beautiful old house in Everton Part to a larger commercial space in Brendale.

Reselling fabric and notions through their 130 volunteers at the shop provides lots to see and buy by over 500 visitors per week. Unlike many thrift stores, The Nest Community manages to sell over 65% of their donations, in their bid to reduce landfill.
