About this Event

Welcome to Learn 2 Sew! Are you ready to pick up a new hobby that could revolutionise your wardrobe? Join us at The Nest Community in Brendale QLD, Australia to kick start your sewing journey.

This beginners class will kickstart your crafting journey with the basics of machine sewing. Even with the simplest of stitches you will make your very own #nestmade tote bag!

This is a truly unique shop-to-class experience that is suitable for participants 15yr+. Hosted in our Gladys Mary Studio, you will be surrounded by our stunning Heritage Collection of sewing memorabilia that we've preserved from donations in our Textile Recovery Centre. If you wish, after the class, one of our delightful volunteers can give you a tour of our social enterprise The Nest Haberdashery, where you can buy low cost, reclaimed resources to continue creating at home.
