Stitch a little Christmas magic in this joyful, hands-on sewing workshop



4 hours Class size 5 to 6 guests    

  $119 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

In this festive Sydney sewing workshop, you'll be using your own festive fabrics and trims and spend most of the session at the sewing machine to create beautiful handmade decorations and reusable fabric wraps that will bring joy year after year.
Whether you want to stitch beautiful ornaments for your tree, craft a decorative garland, or create eco-friendly fabric wraps and bags for gifts, this workshop is a fun and sustainable way to celebrate the season. You’ll be guided step by step as you explore creative ways to use your fabrics, mix trims and textures, and design festive keepsakes that reflect your personal style.
You’ll learn simple machine-sewing techniques, along with some optional hand-finishing details, to make unique decorations you’ll treasure for years to come. There'll be time enough to complete at least one project in class, and leave with patterns, written instructions and inspiration to keep creating at home.
Join us to swap store-bought sparkle for handmade cheer!
