The Workroom
If there was any doubt we're living in the DIY decade, the Workroom may have just erased it. The Workroom is Toronto's first Sew by the Hour Space. For only $7 (less if you have a membership), you can claim a sewing machine and thread and do your thing. Or, take a class like learning how to sew a men's tie.

Last time I was there the woman at the cash actually TALKED ME OUT OF BUYING ANYTHING by loudly lecturing me from across the store about how I couldn't use a rotary cutter unless I bought a self healing mat too. Her tone wasn't at all kind or helpful, it was a snide "I'm the expert and you're an idiot," type thing, and she made sure she broadcast it across the whole store rather than wait till I got back to the counter.
It was really weird and off-putting, and the person I was with noticed it too. After we left he said, "That lady was really kind of nasty, no?"
Had a very similar experience and have repeatedly experienced the staff there to be just as she described.
Nice to know it isn't just me! LOL!
