Judz Stitches

Nestled in the heart of Auckland, Judz Stitches is a beacon for those seeking the charm and creativity of needlework. Founded with a passion for stitching and a commitment to community, our studio has been a beloved cornerstone for over two decades. Our story began when Judy, a dedicated seamstress and mother, recognized the therapeutic benefits of needlework for her autistic son. Inspired by his progress and driven by a desire to extend this gift to others, she established Judz Stitches as an Autism Resource Centre. Since then, we have grown beyond our original purpose, evolving into a hub that fosters creativity, encourages collaboration, and provides a supportive environment for all. At Judz Stitches, we offer more than just needlework; we offer the opportunity to learn, grow, and connect. Our services extend from traditional quilting techniques to innovative modern patterns, catering to both beginners and seasoned stitchers alike. We take pride in our diagnostic service, helping individuals discover their unique creative talents and channel them into beautiful works of art. Our Employment & Transition Service is a testament to our dedication to inclusivity. By offering job training and employment opportunities within the studio, we empower individuals with autism and other special needs to achieve independence and self-sufficiency. Our mission extends beyond the walls of our studio, as we reach out to schools, organizations, and communities through Autism Connect, sharing our passion for needlework and our commitment to fostering understanding and acceptance of those on the autism spectrum. Whether you're seeking a new hobby, looking to connect with others, or eager to support a cause close to our hearts, Judz Stitches warmly invites you to become part of our story. Come explore our studio, share in our passion for needlework, and experience the heartwarming community that makes Judz Stitches more than just a needlework studio - it's a haven for connection, growth, and self-expression.
