ABOUT THIS CLASS
Private sewing class
Whether you’re completely new to sewing or looking to refresh your skills, in this hands-on, beginner sewing class, I’ll guide you through the basic foundations of sewing.
After completing this interactive learn to sew class, you’ll be ready to start using your sewing machine with confidence and start altering and upcycling clothes – even make your own clothes.
Note: This class does not include pattern making. That is a more advanced skill.
In this class, I’ll cover
- Basic sewing machine techniques
- Tips for sewing different fabrics
- Sewing kit essentials
- The fundamentals of altering clothes
During the class we can sew a basic item like a cushion cover, drawstring bag, lined shopping bag or similar. These sewing projects are designed to encompass a range of sewing techniques suitable for beginner sewers.
Alternatively, if you would like specialised guidance on a project you have been working on, this can usually be accommodated.
Sewing Machine
Bring your own sewing machine to get comfortable with your tools, or use one of the sewing machines available at my studio.

Try sewing to see if you like it.
A private lesson is the perfect way to try sewing without the upfront cost of purchasing a machine. I provide everything you need including a modern sewing machine, scissors, fabric, and accessories so you can focus on learning and having fun. It’s a great opportunity to see if sewing is something you’d like to pursue before buying your own equipment.
Duration and Cost
Private workshops run for 2 hours or 3 hours.
If you’re an NDIS participant, you may be able to claim the cost of your sewing lessons under your plan. Speak with your support coordinator or plan manager to find out if it’s covered as part of your funding.
