ABOUT THIS CLASS
Sewing Machine Classes Sydney
Have you just purchased or been given a sewing machine and don’t know where to start? My sewing machine classes are perfect for beginners, novice sewers, and anyone wanting to reconnect with their sewing machine.
Sewing is a skill everyone can enjoy, whether it’s creating something new, altering existing garments, or mending your favourite pieces. My sewing machine workshops will inspire your creativity while building the confidence you need to work with your sewing machine – safely and efficiently.
All workshops have a maximum of 4 people to allow time for one-on-one attention.
In the class I’ll cover
- Basic sewing machine operation: Get familiar with your sewing machine, including threading, bobbin winding, and adjusting tension.
- Sewing techniques: From stitching straight lines to tackling corners, I’ll guide you through essential techniques to get started.
- Troubleshooting tips: Learn how to handle common sewing machine issues.
During the class we will sew a reversable, lined bag with internal pockets. This project highlights a range of sewing techniques suitable for beginner sewers and important skills that form the foundations of basic sewing.

Sewing Machine

Duration
3 hours
Attendees
Maximum: 4 people
This is a small, group class with a maximum of 4 people. This allows ample time for one-on-one attention allocated to each attendee.
Private lessons: If you prefer to learn without the distraction of other people, I offer private sewing and sewing machine classes.
Location
Classes and workshops are held at Frenchs Forest on the Northern Beaches, Sydney (near Northern Beaches Hospital).
There is plenty of free, untimed street parking across the road from the workshop and a bus stop is within easy walking.
After placing your booking, you’ll be sent the address, along with parking and other information.
Refreshments
Morning or afternoon tea will be available for attendees to enjoy. Unfortunately, we cannot cater to the specific dietary or allergy requirements of individual attendees.
Clothing Swap
The core purpose of Second Life Upcycling is to encourage recycling, repurposing, rethinking and reusing. With this in mind, feel free to bring along good quality clothes you would like to swap or give to other workshop attendees. This encourages a circular economy and ensures your clothes go to a good home and are kept out of landfill (hopefully).
Note: Any garments or accessories not taken by other workshop attendees will have to be taken home. I do not offer a recycling service.
