- 5/5 from Theodora Chong, attended Jan 2026: Deb's hand sewing class was highly interactive, insightful, fun and jam packed full of tips and tricks in the 1 hour class - without being overwhelming - very impressed!

- 5/5 from Grace Waldemar, attended Aug 2025: Deb’s Hand Sewing 101 workshop was so practical and empowering. In just one hour, she taught us how to thread, hem, mend, and stitch a button securelg. These are all essential skills to make our clothes last longer. Her teaching style was clear and encouraging, making it easy for everyone to follow along and feel confident. Such a valuable and satisfying way to spend an afternoon!
- 5/5 from Nan Herlihen, attended Aug 2025: What an awesome class! Deb is so knowledgeable and passionate about her craft inspiring every stitch. Deb tapped into my memory banks to remind me of my sewing skills from high school and got me inspired to do my own hems and throw out the hemming web! A great class to have some fun with friends. I did it with my daughter and the knotting competition was on. Awesome teacher, practical skills to be gained. Totally recommend this class.
- 5/5 from Lauren Teo, attended May 2025: I had the most amazing time! I've truly learned a lot, lots of tops and tricks were given. Deb, my teacher created a a very nice environment for learning and I was able to ask as many questions and learn as much as I can. I would really recommend anyone who are interested in learning the basics!
- 5/5 from Franchesca Oliva, attended Jan 2025: Booked a class for myself, daughter and mother, and the three of us had a great time with Deb! She was so lovely and patient as she taught us the basics of hand sewing buttons, stitching and hemming. She was very passionate and informative - we had a great time. Will definitely recommend to our friends and do more classes with her.
- 5/5 from Joanne Andreolas, attended Aug 2024: I loved my class with Deb. She went over everything really clearly and patiently. She's like chatting with an old friend.

With a focus on sustainability and repurposing reclaimed textiles.Specialising in group bookings for one off team building events, conference break out sessions and multi week Creative Clubs for business, council and corporate clients. let's chat and create the ultimate in creativity for your team.
