Annual Fabric & Haberdashery Bazaar

Altrusa International of Oamaru is now collecting quality donations for its 2026 Annual Fabric & Haberdashery Bazaar, inviting the community to help build a bigger, better event for the year ahead. This is the kind of community effort that works because people quietly contribute what they can — fabrics, sewing supplies, craft materials, wool, jewellery, scarves, and the useful bits and pieces that deserve a second life in someone else’s hands.

It’s practical, creative, and generous all at once, with every donation helping support the wider community projects Altrusa is known for. With a new venue lined up for the 2026 Bazaar, there’s a real sense of momentum around this year’s collection effort, making now a great time to clear out, pass on good-quality items, and be part of something that genuinely gives back locally.
