Event details
Participants learn a range of beginner concepts such as the safe use of a sewing machine, the purpose of grain-lines, using pattern pieces, pinning and measuring, using fabric scissors, sewing straight lines, back-stitching, sewing seams, applying trim, top-stitching and creating a channel, all whilst constructing our carefully curated selection of beginner projects, starting with a pillow case!
First Stitches is the introduction block to a suite of beginner Stitches classes at Stitchery & Co.; participants have the option to transition into our follow-on course of beginner Stitches class blocks, where each project has been placed with a perspective on reinforcing what has been taught, whilst continually building skills and confidence.

Tatiana
Tatianya plans to do all that she can to return textile manufacturing to Australia. The creation of Stitchery & Co. is the first building block born out of a need to fill the gap in Textiles Education that is missing from mainstream teachings. Fast fashion is linked with environmental damage and waste, so why not utilise the concept of make, do, mend. Take what you have, make do with it, and learn the skills to repair or repurpose it.
