A little about Phil
"I have a genuine passion for sewing, garment construction and all forms of crafting, enjoying the creativity and satisfaction that comes from working with my hands. I have studied designer dressmaking and have a background in various areas of the fashion industry, which has given me an appreciation for quality fabrics, garment construction, fit, finishing and attention to detail. I enjoy exploring different techniques, working with textiles and bringing creative ideas to life. I have made many creations over the years varying from wedding dresses to kids costumes. My love of fashion, design and craftsmanship, combined with my practical skills and creative eye, continues to inspire me to learn, create and develop my abilities."

At Northern, we like to be super considerate. That’s why, at our Garage Sale tomorrow from 8:30 to 2 pm, you can pick up this amazing Triton Mark 3 workbench and circular saw, and while you're at it, this Hoover vacuum and floor polisher to clean up the sawdust!

Many of you would remember Northern Community CareWorks' Op Shop. With a number of additional Op Shops opening up in the last 10 years, we made the difficult decision 4 years ago, coming out of the CoVid lockdowns, to close our Op Shop. Rather than repeating what was already well covered in the community, we instead chose to fill the gap by providing free clothes to people in need through our Preston Clothing Hub. But for those who love to Op Shop, it is helpful to remember that not all Op Shops or Thrift Shops are run by or for the benefit of charitable purposes.

Charity op shops in Geelong are feeling threatened by the arrival of US megastore Savers.
