What you'll learn
What you’ll learn in your private session depends entirely on your goals, experience level, and the complexity of your project. Whether you’re working on a garment from scratch, trying to perfect a tricky technique, or just need help getting started, your instructor will tailor the session to suit you.
- Use of our sewing machines and overlockers
- Access to professional sewing tools – fabric scissors, rotary cutters, unpickers, rulers, pressing tools, and more
- Small extras like interfacing, calico for test runs, or elastic included when needed
- One-on-one support from a skilled sewing instructor, tailored to your project and experience level
- A spacious, dedicated workstation set up just for you
- Pattern tracing paper, calico for testing fit (if needed), and basic threads provided
- Complimentary tea, coffee, water, and cookies
- A comfortable and inspiring studio environment in Redfern
- This class is open to everyone aged 13+, and you don’t need any prior sewing experience.
- Suitable for anyone looking to work on a specific project with one-on-one guidance, or for those who simply prefer learning in a private setting over group workshops. Our instructors are warm, friendly, and tailor the session to support your individual goals – no matter your skill level.
- We welcome all genders and identities in our inclusive space.
- Private sewing classes are minimum 3 hours. If you’d like to book a longer session (4+ hours), just get in touch and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Absolutely enjoyed the Sewing for Beginners class! Coming into the class, I was nervous at first, but Sophie made it so easy. I appreciate her detailed explanations of the machine and pointers, and her advice on buying a machine was super helpful. Highly recommend for anyone starting their sewing journey!

I cannot recommend Sydney Creative highly enough. I had the most incredible sewing class today. Sophie was so encouraging, and gave excellent and clear guidance. She gave me just what I needed and let me take it the rest of the way. She’s a fabulous teacher and is so passionate about her craft. Also, the space is lovely. I’m already planning my next class. If you’re considering doing a class with Sophie and Sydney Creative, do it, do it, do it!

I did the beginners sewing class on Saturday and it was great fun, the teacher Danni was really friends and clear with her instructions. If anyone can teach me to sew, they are amazing! I can’t wait to come back and do the earrings and pizza class. Thank you!
