If there was any doubt we're living in the DIY decade, the Workroom may have just erased it. Located in the space that was once The Ground Level Cafe (they've moved a few blocks west), 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 ($50, December 12th).

I recently stopped by 1340 Queen Street West to check out the space and speak with owner Karyn Valino. Watch the video profile below:
