How it works
This is a ClassBento LiveBox class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or enjoy with like-minded others. As seen on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and more. Here's how it works:
- Request your preferred time
- We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft box containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and it should arrive within 2-4 business days. We ship nationwide.
- Enjoy the online class. You'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. On the day of the class, use that link to join the class. Class sizes are kept small, so you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.
What you'll do
Have you always wanted to learn how to sew but never had the time? Or perhaps you're currently stuck at home and would like to find a new hobby. Sydney Creative are here to help!
Our private classes are taught by qualified Textile and Fashion Designers.
Begin by learning the basics of setting up a sewing machine in a one hour class. If you continue with your private tuition, you will be guided through a simple project, usually a cushion cover, a roll-up pencil case, or simple tote bag. If you choose to continue with your private tuition, we can discuss more complex projects to develop your sewing skills.
Highlights
• One-on-one tuition
• Learn how to set up a sewing machine ready for sewing
• Learn new skills and improve your sewing abilities with each session
• Have the freedom to book sessions when it suits you
Knowledge Required
No previous knowledge required.
What you'll get in your craft box
- Fabric for your first project
- Pins
- Needles

Suitable for
This is a fun indoor activity, suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 8 years old). An adult must be present whilst kid(s) engage with the box.
This would also be a nice gift for her or gift for mum.

Sydney Creative was launched in 2019 by Textile Designer Sophie Parry.
Creativity is, and always has been, the driving force in Sophie's life. From an early age she would always swap the dolls and toys for a pen and notepad. She never minded being left to her own devices while her parents needed to go shopping. With a colouring-in book to hand Sophie happily sat quietly either scribbling away or patiently filling in each tiny hole in the fabric of her red tights – the latter much to their frustration.
Sophie's creativity and passion for art led to an interest in fabrics, sewing and textiles. It was at university where Sophie found her feet in the textiles profession, developing the skills and techniques that would guide her on her own journey in textile design. During this time, Sophie won several awards for her textile work and was chosen to exhibit her final third year project at the prestigious New Designers exhibition in London.
Upon graduating, Sophie left her hometown in Wales to experience different cultures around the world. She settled in Sydney and decided to launch her Handmade Baby Boutique brand Scribble & Sew. In 2018 Sophie introduced sewing workshops through Scribble & Sew and later re-branded as Sydney Creative.
Sydney Creative currently offer unique and flexible sewing workshops for busy Sydneysiders. Sophie understands that not everyone has a full day to spend learning how to sew, which is why she launched the Introduction To Sewing workshop. In the future, Sophie plans to offer more creative workshops such as painting, punch needling and social sewing.

Loved this class. It was a great way to learn about my sewing machine and how to use it from beginning to end.
I learnt a lot of useful tips along the way and Sophie was very patient, clear and helpful with her teaching style.
I’m excited to get into some sewing projects now!
