School Holidays Youth (10-14ish) Sewing Class

It's a sew-along! Suitable for beginners who can only sew forward and back right through to advanced sewists who would like a little company and troubleshooting.

This is not your grandmother's sewing class - the chaos is real, and you'll be encouraged to go your own way, express yourself, take risks and play. It's about the joy of creation and embracing "mistakes" rather than perfection.

Learn to sew or level up at this chaotic sewing circle in Sydney. Develop a new hobby or push your skills further, find like-minded people your age and get the fun relaxed support from "Chaotic Socialite" Chrissy Flanagan.

Suggested age is 10-14, if you'd like to participate but are outside those ages please enquire prior to booking.

New to sewing? That's totally fine. We will make a cushion cover and a book bag.

Pretty seasoned? It's a perfect environment for sewing in community and getting those extra tips and motivation. You can bring your own projects you're working on, for assistance from Chrissy and body doubling.

Class sizes are limited to ensure sufficient space and assistance is available.

Bring your own sewing machine or hire one of ours additional to your booking.

It's an open, participatory environment, so come ready to make new friends along the way.

All events are hosted by Chaotic Socialite Chrissy Flanagan and her deputy, poodle Bobbin.

About Chaotic Social

We’re really very friendly. Come stag, come with a mate, come with a whole crop of cousins, either way it’s a warm and inviting atmosphere and we mix and marinate.

Fair warning: I can’t swear there won’t be games, and there will definitely be nametags.
