  • 5/5 from Karen Schultz, attended Mar 2025: Amy Jones is a terrific teacher who inspires participants. Very happy with the ideas and techniques. The venue was well-suited to the class. A surprise catered lunch was delicious too! I would attend other classes here.
  • 5/5 from Samantha Yep, attended Mar 2025: Such a fun class for everyone. I took along my 13 yr old daughter who I thought would be capable but she also really surprised me embroidering with enjoyment for the full 6 yrs. Amy provides really clear steps throughout the workshop You come away with the stitches to continue your work to add and build out a beautiful end result. It’s lovely to see sample works for inspiration along with seeing what others in the workshop were producing for ideas. Warning it does become addictive and I didn’t want to put it down when I got home to add to the work further Thank you Amy

Creating balance with creativity & connection

Made by Me Workshop is about helping people to connect with their "inner creative" and have some fun while making beautiful things from quality materials in our friendly & vibrant studio space in the heart of the inner west!
Established in 2017 after Rebecca Doyle decided to take a career break and chose to revisit her childhood love for arts & crafts. Rebecca grew up in a large family where money was tight, after school activities where mostly homegrown and usually involved a sheet of cardboard, a glue stick and some glitter! It is probably no surprise to learn that Rebecca followed a creative path to study Fashion & Textile Design at University!
After a few more decades (than Rebecca will publicly admit to) and a long and varied career in the fashion industry, Rebecca wanted to get back to creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind objects - Made By Me Workshop is the result of where this path led.
Rebecca loves that moment of pride that comes over each participant's face when they look at what they have created and say to themselves "Wow - I made this & I love it!"
Made by Me Workshop run a variety of creative workshops, hen’s parties, private parties and corporate events from their warehouse space in St Peters including Resin Art, Resin Jewellery & Mould Making, Soap Making, Terrazzo Homewares, Punch Needle, Macrame and many more.
