4.8 (6)Hi I'm Deb, Owner, Designer and Maker from Stalia Design.
Coming from a long family history of creativity it's no surprise I started working for a sewing machine company at age 20, then at 24 I opened my own sewing shop.
A few years later I thought I would give the corporate world a try and got stuck there for almost 20 years (all the while making clothes and costumes for my children) until a chronic illness diagnosis rescued me!
Completing my Cert IV in Design and a Diploma in Surface Design rekindled my creative spark and I now offer you the opportunity to create beautiful, mindful pieces. With a focus on sustainability and repurposing reclaimed textiles.
Workshops are run in our private space in Jannali and I also run private in-person workshops for hen's and bridal shower, birthday parties and team building.
I look forward to helping you create your very own masterpiece.

During the school holidays my 11 year old child attended the Kids Hand Sew a Friendly Monster Workshop at Stalin Design in Jannali.
I am so happy to have found Stalin Design for my child.
The owner is a very friendly, professional and supportive person who teaches young children the basic concepts of sewing.
My child was given a choice of colour fabrics and taught to hand sew stitches. They enjoyed being able to make their own toy.
My child left feeling super proud of their efforts and can’t wait to go back next holidays.
Below is my child’s finished work.

My son and daughter had a wonderful day making lanterns and cards with flower hammering. They really enjoyed learning some new techniques. Deb was an excellent, patient teacher who encouraged the kids so follow their own creativity.
It was definitely a highlight of the school holidays.
