We’re located on Melbourne’s vibrant Brunswick Street, in Fitzroy. At Thread Den you can start at the very beginning, take your skills to the next level, and find your own unique style.
Learning at Thread Den is like having a friend (a super nice clever one) teach you and a few friends to sew, craft and create.

Our studio has a full range of workshops so that blossoming sewists, knitters, crocheters, vintage lovers and everyone in between can continue to build their skills and make more and more.
Most of the students who come to Thread Den work full-time, so our workshops are run in the evenings and weekends. We are not an accredited education facility, it’s just as much about a social and enjoyable experience, as it is about learning how to sew, craft and create for yourself.

Terms & Conditions
Taking part in a workshop at Thread Den is fun and we love teaching people our craft, but here we have to get serious for a moment:
It is your responsibility to clear your diary for the booking you've made - especially if there are multiple sessions in your course. If you want to finish your project(s), you need to attend all workshops. You'll also need to arrive on time. We can't start again because it just isn't fair to your fellow participants.
Allow us this indulgence for a second, our workshops and courses - are usually sold out weeks in advance. It isn't a quick switch to pop you into another workshop. If we have an appropriate session where you can attend to keep going, we will try to offer you a discounted space. If that isn't possible, you will need to book a private lesson to stay on track (the minimum cost is NM -$144 or M -$119.52).
We also won't follow you up to check that you are coming along to class and/or that you have the right supplies for your class. Almost every workshop will require you to bring along your supplies, for some workshops we sell a supplies kit at an additional cost - but not for all. If you are unsure about what you need, just shoot us an email - ****** . We also want you to learn and love what you make as much as possible, please carefully consider the fabrics we recommend that you use. If you choose a fabric that is suited to a more advanced level you aren't going to enjoy your experience.
We've tried to answer any questions you could have in the workshop description, but again, don't hesitate to email us for any further details or with any queries. We loooove to see that fabric you are thinking of using and sending you off to some of our favourite fabric and habby suppliers.
A great project for beginners or those new to sewing. This pattern became an immediate bestseller when released in 1952. Re-released recently, the “walk-away” dress became an instant online sensation, and featured on the Great British Sewing Bee.
Beginning with a Basic Sewing Class, which is structured to give you the necessary knowledge you require to get you started on any of the sewing projects you have in mind, while mastering your skills on a sewing machine and overlocker.
You will learn a range of sewing techniques while making three fun and fashionable projects in a friendly small group. In term 1, we will learn how to make a gorgeous backpack, a super-fun, super-sized pencil bolster, and a very useful wall organiser - all the things you need to get ready.
Yes, we can teach you to make face masks in one lesson! We are currently teaching the Deaconess three layer face mask (pictured above) which is breathable, easy to make and in accordance with World Health Organisation recommendations.
Our sewing program runs after school during each school term. Programs are structured to enable students to learn a new skill every week during the different stages of their projects.
