About this Event

It’s not sew hard! Learn how to set up a sewing machine and start sewing with confidence. 

Whether you are mending an old favourite, following a pattern, or experimenting with your own designs, our sewing machines are here to bring your textile creations to life. We will guide you through the machine setup, fabric preparation and basic sewing techniques. We’ll also introduce you to the overlocker, which is also available for use once you have completed the induction. 

After the induction, you’re all set to book and use the State Library’s sewing machines at The Edge during Open lab.
