The Best Things to Do on Fraser Street

Whether it’s cake decorating or shopping for custom printed t-shirts or designing your own terrarium, Fraser Street is the perfect place to indulge your creativity.

1. Spool of Thread Sewing Lounge

Even a beginner who’s never touched a sewing machine can walk away from a class at this teaching shop with a custom self-made skirt, bow tie or tote bag. 649 East 15th Ave

2. Grubwear

Skip the basic touristy gear and go to Grubwear, a custom-printing shop with its own cheeky merch: tees featuring the Dude Chilling Park sign, “CANUCK AF” and East Van cross print underwear. 617 Kingsway

3. The Pie Hole

After years of working out of a shared kitchen, pie master Jenell Parsons debuts her bricks-and-mortar shop on Fraser. Inside it’s bright and white with geo tiles and a country diner feel, and the pies are all decadent and toothsome, from the raspberry cream crumble to savouries like mac and cheese. 3497 Fraser Sthttps://www.instagram.com/p/BSrb72aFBks/?taken-by=gfepicurean
