Join Australian Fashion Week and Vogue-featured designer Elena for a relaxed, community-minded course that’s equal parts technique, laughter, and creative therapy.
In this course, you will learn how to create your perfectly-fitted pair of pants under the guidance of fashion designer with over seven years experience, Elena. Over three Thursday evenings, you will delve into the world of sewing and walk away with pants you'll love wearing.
Don't worry if you're new to sewing, this activity is designed for beginners and is all about having fun, learning new skills, and enjoying a sense of community. You'll be working with light to mid-weight linen or cotton fabric and matching thread to bring your pants to life.
During the workshop, you'll cover a range of topics including reading patterns, using a sewing machine, adjusting patterns to fit your body, and professional pressing and hemming techniques. Elena will ensure you feel confident in every step of the process and will provide ongoing support through access to her online Resource Hub and a private Facebook group.
At the end of the course, you'll not only have a new addition to your wardrobe but also the knowledge and experience to continue creating at home. Plus, you'll get to enjoy endless tea, fruit, and biscuits while honing your new skills.
What you'll get
  • A pair of custom-fit, pocketed pants you stitched yourself
  • A cardboard master-pattern (traceable in any size) to reuse at home
  • New skills: reading a pattern, grainline, pockets, elastic waistband and pro-level pressing
  • Three evenings of hands-on coaching from an Australian Fashion Week & Vogue-featured designer

Sew With Elena
Sew With Elena

female Women-owned

Hi, I’m Elena — fashion designer, AAFW alumni, and maker of bespoke bridal and evening wear brand Gyre that’s been spotted in Vogue, Elle and on very happy dance-floors. My own sewing journey started as a soul-soothing escape after my daughter was born, and it grew into a calling: help more people find the same calm, confidence and creative spark that sewing gave me.
Alongside designing made-to-measure gowns, I run intimate workshops (never more than six students) on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. We’ll share endless cups of tea, plenty of laughs and my best runway-tested techniques, all in a supportive space where beginners feel brave and experienced sewists still learn something new.
Nothing beats the moment someone slips on a garment they stitched themselves and lights up with pride. If that sounds like a feeling you’d like to catch, come pull up a chair—we’ll press, pin and celebrate together.
