Our story began in 2018 in a small studio inside 107 Projects on Redfern St. With only a table and one sewing machine, our first class was published and we didn't look back. Since that first day.
We have expanded and grown the business into a well established studio, fully equipped for all types of creative workshops. Our passion for the arts coupled with bringing people together, brought our vision of launching a creative hub to life.
Come join us for a Sit and Sew session! Bring your latest project or start a new one in a friendly and relaxed environment. Sew with other keen crafters and enjoy our beautiful creative space.
