We’ve all been there—your favorite sweater catches on something sharp, and now there’s a hole big enough to smuggle a cat through. Or maybe you’ve got jeans that have seen better days (seriously, why do they always rip in that spot?).

We get it, accidents happen. But here’s the good news: You don’t have to part ways with your beloved threads just yet.

At Nemo Workroom, we’re masters of the ‘how-did-they-fix-that?!’ repairs. Whether it’s patching up holes, replacing zips, or reviving a vintage piece your grandma passed down, we’ve got the skills and the passion to make it like-new again.

Plus, every repair is one less item heading to a landfill, and that’s a win for both your wardrobe and the environment.

Drop in and see us, we promise your clothes will thank you (and so will the planet).

HAVE YOU HEARD? 🗣 We’ve gone entirely contactless for those who would prefer not to come in to the shop to collect their garments!

Nemo’s new Collection Cabinet is also ideal for those who need to pick up or drop off anything outside of our operating hours, such as hire items from Nemo Bridal & Couture or Omen Suit Hire.

Our cabinet sits conveniently outside of our front door at 3 Gray Street, so if you’re interested in using this option, simply let us know in advance and we’ll give you full instructions on how it works! 🔓

We just keep on cutting up our excess fabrics to make masks for the people -we're always modifying - now with narrow soft elastic and silicone adjustors.
Stay safe - keep smiling

We've made it to the big screen!! The gorgeous Anna Hawkins was entirely styled by our team at Nemo Bridal & Couture for her most recent music video 'Wayfaring Stranger'.
The 'Rosie' hire gown, cape & earrings worked perfectly for Anna's middle-earth vibes as she paraded through golden Canterbury plains & Omarama's breathtaking clay cliffs.
Be sure to watch this all the way through... the scenery is out of this world!

We have new take home bundles ready for you here at Nemo! Come and join the anti plastic revolution and do your bit helping the Boomerang Bags Queenstown group! Remember if you have any old material you would like to drop off you can do so in our shop!

We made our first Boomerang bag today... Did you know Nemo is a pick up & drop off point for sew at home bundles? If you can't make a sewing bee then feel free to pop in and pick up some bags to complete at home! Come on QT let's get behind this awesome project!

Our Story

‘NEMO’ is an old latin verb describing nomadic movement... ...and our fundamental ethos is steeped in sustainability.

Nemo is Queenstown’s most trusted sewing workroom, dedicated to providing quality stitch-work for the local community and beyond. We're committed to giving our clients the very best repairing, repurposing, altering, hiring, and tailoring services with a focus on sustainability, professionalism, and quality.

Our Mission is to repair, remodel, alter, circulate, up-cycle & reuse where we can, consciously sewing for the people, and circulating for sustainability.

To us, this means keeping our precious Planet spinning at its healthiest by keeping waste to a minimum by encouraging a localised circular economy through: • The Bespoke creation of well-crafted garments that last, • Mending existing pieces to extend their lifetime, • Utilising discarded fabrics to create new items, and •. Providing an option to hire that which you may only wear once, instead of buying.
