Welcome to Celestin’s Workshop where we’ll make sewing simple and easy for you to follow. These lessons are perfect for beginners or those wanting to dust off the old sewing machine they have at the back of their cupboard. Celest the founder and seamstress behind the slow fashion label Celestin, will guide you through every step with over 10 years of experience. Now based in Ballarat, she welcomes you into her studio to learn the craft of sewing.
Spend a few hours being creative and having fun with other crafty people in a calm and cosy environment, so you feel comfortable learning new skills.
If you’ve been longing to understand how to cut fabric, get the basics of sewing down and make something cute that isn’t a clothing item then you’ll love this workshop. In this 3 hour workshop you’ll be able to create a cute tote bag with design elements you choose, be it a ruffled trim, two inside pockets or one outside pocket.
We’ll take you through the following:
  • How to cut fabric
  • How to line a bag
  • How to use basic sewing techniques
What we provide for you to use on the day:
  • Sewing equipment RTP over $50
  • Basic sewing matchiness if required
  • Calico fabric for the lining
  • Basic black poplin for tote (only if required)
  • Tea and water

Celestin was launched in October 2019. It was founded by Celest who wanted to bring whimsical clothing to life through sustainable practices and having an inclusive sizing range by specialising in made-to-measure clothing. All orders are made by Celest herself from start to finish.
As Celestin has grown Celest found herself wanting to include ways for like-minded people to come together and feel empowered. This is why after conducting some private sewing lessons Celest decided to launch sewing workshops. After coming to the realisation just how much she loves getting to help others learn and feel empowered in the craft of sewing.
