Our story began in 2018 in a small Redfern studio. With only one desk and one sewing machine, our first class was published and we haven't looked back. Our passion for the arts coupled with bringing people together, brought our vision of launching a creative hub to life.
In our modern world, everything moves quickly, we have adapted to a fast-paced environment and sometimes it can be hard to slow ourselves down. Sydney Creative is a place for people to relax, regroup and find a creative outlet that will hopefully aid in bringing people a sense of achievement, fulfilment and joy.
Today, our classes run from our own venue in Redfern. We run lots of different creative classes from Sewing to Jewellery, painting and lots more, we love following the trends and developing new classes for our customers to enjoy.
Step inside Sydney Creative and you’ll find a pink and bubbly creative hub in Redfern, where Sophie Parry and her team are all about crafting community.

Sophie was a great teacher and really made it so simple for beginners getting into sewing. She explained every step thoroughly from pattern to overlocking, and also made sure you knew the machine really well too.
Facilities and equipment were top-notch. You could tell everything was really well looked after. I really enjoyed the class and will be looking into doing the pants/shorts class next to continue my skills. Thanks again, Sophie!
Great introduction to using a sewing machine but also following a simple pattern to create the cushion cover. Love that the class also provides all the materials and sewing machine for you, makes it easier especially when you’re just getting started with sewing as you don’t really know what to get.

Loved it! The teacher was helpful, friendly and made the class enjoyable. Would recommend it.
Lovely space with great classes! I took the sewing for beginner’s class with Sophie and had great fun making the cushion cover. We got to pick our fabric and marked what was needed based on the pattern (which we could take home). Sophie was patient and encouraging, and had great tips to make sure we could understand the sewing machine and know how to take care of it. I look forward to be back for more classes!
Step by step instructions, very clear, patient enjoyable class size, atmosphere and instructional, pleasant young teacher.

This class was amazing! Rachel was such a patient and clear instructor, and showed so much experience and skill. She took us through all the basics we needed to know and explained why, which made it easier to understand. The location was easy to get to and I loved the small class size. The quality of equipment provided was excellent and everything was easy to understand and use, and the fabric choices were gorgeous! I’m so pleased with how my cushion cover turned out and I’m so excited to keep sewing now that I feel SO much more confident! Would highly recommend this class!

Really good class for beginners! There was only 6 in our class which made it really easy to ask questions and make a cushion in the 3 hours we had.
Our instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable, but I think could improve slightly by explaining some of the basic terminology better (Like rather than saying "Put the bobbin here" tell the class what the bobbin is and what purpose it has.)
The location was also great. Really easy to access and super close to Redfern station.
Loved this class, Sophie is so patient and a great teacher and it’s THE perfect class for the beginner!
Walking out with a cushion that I sewed, loved it!

Sophie was really nice and accommodating (thank you again for letting me eat and heat up my food!).
She was really good and teaching the class on how to cut the fabric, and always took the time to show us the steps (and even gave a pop quiz - which I think I passed) - she was also really patient when I struggled on how to use the sewing machine.
She made it feel so easy that I really wanted to make another cushion or start another project!
Materials that were provided were really pretty, and I love my cushion cover - I used it as soon as I got home.
Doing this class makes you feel really accomplished! Would go back again to make the shorts :)

Sophie was an excellent teacher. Her expertise was evident as she taught us the skills we needed to get started using a sewing Machine. Her tips, learnt from personal experience were of great benefit. Most of all, I appreciated her patience and friendly manner when I made silly mistakes.
As a beginner I found Sophie’s class to be exactly what I was hoping for. Sophie’s knowledge and great practical tips were really appreciated. She is very patient, attentive to all students and generous with her time. Whilst it’s always a challenge to find parking in Redfern, the venue itself was great.

Informative session with a good amount of time in the machine to feel comfortable. Would recommend having or buying a machine shortly thereafter as it's quite complicated so hard to remember if not keeping up regularly.
Sophie's 'Introduction to Sewing' class was awesome, she is a fantastic teacher and I learnt so much from her and her team. I will be attending another class soon! Thank you Sydney Creative :-)

Fantastic class and Sophie was great at explaining everything. Learnt a lot, had fun and made something I love. Great class if you’re a complete beginner or like me, haven’t seen a sewing machine since Year 7. Highly recommended
Sophie was a great and really patient. I liked how the workshop was focused on one task while we learned how to troubleshoot. I was not left expecting more and I even got a rotary cutter to improve my cutting.

Excellent beginner class which was at a good pace for me. I had tried my new sewing machine on my own but I think it would have been more useful to just start here. I’m signing up for another class ASAP to keep my skills up

It was my first time ever handling a sewing machine, left the class smiling ear to ear and super motivated to continue experimenting on my own!
I loved how Sophie guided me through the whole process of marking the fabric, cutting, folding, setting up the machine to then bring a nice little cushion to life as the outcome of the learning task. Sophie also makes sure the class isn’t overcrowded so she can coach us more closely. She is super lovely and approachable, open to answer specific questions we might have and instruct about the tools to use when we plan to take sewing to further levels. Surely recommend Sydney Creative! Super happy with the experience!

Amazing workshop, Sophie was so clear with her instructions with no judgement on skill level . You really get to learn all of the basics and leave with a completed cushion coverso good!
We had such a lovely sewing class with Sophie. It was in a great location that was easy to find. The class was really well structured and well organised.

Today’s class was beautifully run, with all stages well explained and demonstrated. I really enjoyed the friendly involved teaching and all equipment and materials were pre-organised and of good quality.
Arriving with no idea how to operate a sewing machine, l left with a thorough understanding of its operation, how to make and measure up an initial project (pillow slip) and said pillow slip over a cushion to take home! See pic
Great knowledge and skills by Sophie. We went at a perfect pace and she explained everything really clearly without confusing me. I love the added extras - such as offering to purchase equipment for me at wholesale prices/from her supplier. Definitely recommend!

Sophie is a wonderful teacher! I came to the class with very limited skills on how to use a sewing machine. She provided clear instructions on how to set it up and use it and then gave me the opportunity to do it independently. She is very patient and encouraging and really allowed me to practice what I learnt.
During this one on one class we created a beautiful playmat for my first grandchild. It has come out beautifully and I can't wait to see my grandchild on it , in the near future.

Great class with Sophie, very much enjoyed learning how to make the cushion, Sophie is very patient and provides clear instructions.

I have some self taught sewing skills and Sophie was able to help me with a few techniques I will use with any project. I now have a new cushion a friend has already tried to claim! I truly appreciated the help and guidance I got, I would never have thought I could learn so much from making a cushion. I left feeling quite proud of my efforts.

Sophie was fantastic
She was really friendly and informative and detailed.
She guided me through every step with such precision.
She was played back and relaxed and allowed us to have time to practice different techniques and the ins and outs of a sewing machine usage.
We had a few laughs and she really focused it on getting the technique right so that our end result was perfect.
Her tips and trick where very helpful. Even though space was small it was tidy showing she had much love for her craft.

Excellent class! Learnt the basics of working with a sewing machine and handling fabric. The instructor was very patient and knowledgeable and always eager to help. Great for anyone who wants to start sewing.
