Kids Embroidery Workshop (Ages 8–12)

Create Your Own Stitched Artwork Using Simple Embroidery Techniques.



8 to 12 years     6 hours Class size 10 to 16 guests       $135 (PayPal Pay in 4 available)

In this all-day school holiday workshop, kids will be introduced to the colourful and calming world of embroidery as they begin stitching their own design from start to finish.
Created especially for beginners, this class gently guides kids through a pre-drawn embroidery pattern, with a fresh new design for the holidays. This season, we’re introducing a new stitched artwork (with designs changing each school holidays), so returning participants can enjoy something different each time.
Over the course of the day, they’ll learn three foundational stitches (and some bonus ones if time and energy levels permit):
Back Stitch – great for outlines and shapes
Lazy Daisy – a fun, petal-shaped stitch with lots of impact
French Knots – perfect for adding textured detail
The day is structured around learning one stitch at a time, with plenty of breaks to rest, snack, and admire each other’s work. Kids will work steadily on their design throughout the day, building confidence as they go.
They’ll take their finished piece home in the hoop, along with their needle and threads, so they can continue stitching during the holidays—perfect for quiet, screen-free time.
No experience needed — just curiosity and creativity!
What they'll learn:
  • How to start and set up an embroidery project using a hoop and needle
  • Three essential stitches: back stitch, lazy daisy, and French knot
  • How to follow a design, choose colours, and stitch independently
  • The benefits of slow making: mindfulness, patience, and creative confidence
  • A new screen-free hobby to enjoy beyond the workshop

Creating balance with creativity & connection

Made by Me Workshop is about helping people to connect with their "inner creative" and have some fun while making beautiful things from quality materials in our friendly & vibrant studio space in the heart of the inner west!
Established in 2017 after Rebecca Doyle decided to take a career break and chose to revisit her childhood love for arts & crafts. Rebecca grew up in a large family where money was tight, after school activities where mostly homegrown and usually involved a sheet of cardboard, a glue stick and some glitter! It is probably no surprise to learn that Rebecca followed a creative path to study Fashion & Textile Design at University!
After a few more decades (than Rebecca will publicly admit to) and a long and varied career in the fashion industry, Rebecca wanted to get back to creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind objects - Made By Me Workshop is the result of where this path led.
Rebecca loves that moment of pride that comes over each participant's face when they look at what they have created and say to themselves "Wow - I made this & I love it!"
Made by Me Workshop run a variety of creative workshops, hen’s parties, private parties and corporate events from their warehouse space in St Peters including Resin Art, Resin Jewellery & Mould Making, Soap Making, Terrazzo Homewares, Punch Needle, Macrame and many more.
