  • 5/5 from Camilla Leong, attended Feb 2026: Spent a great morning learning how to do embroidery with Rosella. She is a very patient and friendly teacher. I was able to choose a design and she'd print it out to fit my embroidery hoop so I could trace the pattern on the material I was using. Besides having an embroidery kit ready for me to take home, she also gave me sashiko threads so I could finish part of my work which was really nice of her. Wasn't sure if I would've been able to find the specific threads at the stores!

  • 5/5 from Lauren Boutros, attended Nov 2020: She was really patient and experienced Was great for a visual learner like me Would highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Felicity Gallimore, attended Oct 2020: Have just had a very enjoyable embroidery class with Rossella. She was very friendly and helpful. Both my daughter (age 12) and I learnt a lot and it was fantastic enjoying the class at home as Rossella came to us. We started by learning some different stitches and then Rossella helped us transfer our chosen design onto material. She guided us as we began to fill in our design and was very generous leaving us with extra thread and tracing paper so that we could complete it after the class had finished. We would thoroughly recommend Rossella’s class.

We began moka studio in 2020, focusing on custom hand-embroidery as a way to recycle and give old garments a second life. while embroidery remains central to our work, we’ve evolved into a studio rooted in craft, circularity, and responsible design, offering functional accessories made from second-hand garments, deadstock fabrics, and locally sourced materials.
through small collections and tailored pieces, we encourage a more intentional relationship with clothing, resisting fast production cycles in favor of thoughtful, slower choices.
Our classes are an extension of what moka stands for — learning by doing, slowing down, and reconnecting with materials and skills that last. we run workshops in upcycling, hand embroidery, and creative repair, open to all.
