Slow down, get creative and make something special completely by hand in our Felt Busy Book Workshop at mishcreates.
No sewing machine. No sewing experience. No fancy equipment needed.
In this relaxed, hands-on class, you'll learn how to create beautiful interactive felt busy book pages using simple hand-stitching and handmade techniques that anyone can learn.
Busy books are soft, interactive fabric books filled with activities for little hands — think buttons, pockets, matching games, shapes, animals, numbers, Velcro, ribbons and plenty of things to move, open and explore.
A different page every session
Each session features a different busy book page, with a template and step-by-step instructions provided.
Come along for one session and make a page you love, or keep coming back and gradually build your own complete handmade busy book.
Have an idea of your own? Bring it with you! We'll help you work out how to turn your idea into a felt page and show you the best techniques and products to use.
You'll learn
This class is all about making things by hand, so everything we teach can easily be continued at home without investing in a sewing machine or expensive equipment.
You'll learn simple hand-stitching techniques, how to cut and layer felt neatly, how to attach different elements, and how to use things like Velcro, buttons, elastic, ribbons and fasteners to make your pages interactive.
We'll also share our favourite felt, threads, glues, tools and other products — including what works, what doesn't and where it's worth spending a little extra.
Absolutely beginner friendly
Never sewn before? Perfect.
You don't need to know how to sew and you definitely don't need to own a sewing machine. We'll teach you the simple stitches and techniques you need as you go.
Everything is designed to be achievable, relaxed and fun.
What you'll get
What you'll make
You'll leave with your own handmade felt busy book page, plus the skills and confidence to keep creating more at home. Or return for different sessions and, page by page, you'll have a beautiful handmade busy book — perfect for your own children or grandchildren, or as a very special gift.
Everything you need to create the featured page is provided.
Want to make a whole book?
Choose our 4-Class Busy Book Pass for $195 and save $25. Your pass includes four separate Busy Book sessions, so you can come back and create a different page each time. After purchasing your pass, we'll organise your remaining class dates with you.
Knowledge required
Absolute beginners welcome!

From watercolour painting and acrylics to seasonal workshops and creative experiences, every class includes all materials and step-by-step guidance in small, friendly groups.
Come on your own, bring a friend or gather a group to celebrate a special occasion. However you arrive, you'll leave with more than just artwork... you'll leave feeling inspired, more confident and reminded that creativity belongs to everyone.
