Sewing lessons for children
Learn to sew lessons for children.
Classes are held on the Northern Beaches Sydney (near Northern Beaches Hospital). Private lessons and group classes can be held at my Northern Beaches workshop or at a location of your choice.
Is your child interest in learning how to sew and safely use a sewing machine?
Join one of my hands-on, fun and engaging sewing classes and upcycling workshops that have been curated specifically for children and are designed to introduce them to the world of sewing.
Each workshop will inspire creativity, teach essential sewing skills, and encourage sustainable practices in a fun and supportive environment.
- Learn the basics of sewing and fabric handling.
- Build confidence and pride in creating their own unique projects.
- Learn how to safely use a sewing machine.
Learning to sew not only fosters creativity but also instils essential lessons about reducing waste and embracing sustainable living—a particularly important skill in a world increasingly influenced by fast fashion and the pressures of overconsumption often seen on social media.

Private sewing lessons for children
For parents and guardians seeking a personalised, one-on-one learning experience for their child, I offer private sewing lessons.
These private sewing sessions are ideal for children who want to focus on specific projects, develop more advanced sewing techniques, or receive tailored guidance at their own pace.
Whether they want to start making your own clothes, master the art of upcycling, or explore a creative new hobby, a private lesson provide the perfect opportunity to build their skills and confidence in a supportive and encouraging environment.
