What our students have to say:
“The Start Sewing workshop was the perfect place for my neurodiverse daughter to learn a lifelong skill. Small class size, cosy space and clear, patient instruction made for a great first experience. She will be back to learn some more. Thank you, Thread Room.”
-S. Taylor
"Thanks so much for offering such an accessible class! I loved attending the sewing workshop; I work late nights and therefore can't attend a Term class, so this was the perfect in-person option to get me started. The workshop gave me the confidence I needed to go home, follow some YouTube tutorials & attempt some basic patterns. Leaving the class with two things I had made myself (that I like) was a confidence boost and the best feeling of accomplishment. I look forward to making clothes for myself, friends and family! I'm even considering challenging myself not to buy clothes for a year and only make my own! I left feeling inspired and like this dream was actually possible. Thanks heaps!"

I did Katie's Start Sewing class and loved it! She is a great teacher and super knowledgeable. The class was fun and easy to follow and I walked away feeling confident to start my sewing journey.

“It was a fantastic experience for my daughter, and she enjoyed it. She could not stop telling me how happy she was and how successful she felt about sewing. We kept the big cloud on our sofa and the small star in my car. There are so many ideas in her head about making stuff. We plan to do it again during the next school holidays.”
-Y.Ling
“Support was excellent, and the teaching was very friendly and simple to understand. The class exceeded expectations: I am glad I did not bet that a 55-year-old male cannot learn how to sew in a couple of hours. I can now handle the basics of a sewing machine and run different types of stitches.”

Looking for a mother/daughter fun bonding activity? The start sewing workshop was a perfect choice for us. Even though I sew, I still picked up some new tricks while my daughter found an entirely new set of skills. Loved it.

Really enjoyable! Katie was a great teacher and very knowledgeable. The class was easy to follow and fun, and it was nice to make some actual items. I learned much more than I expected in those three hours and was happy with my progress. ! I have already purchased a sewing machine to begin learning more about 😊
