Full term weekly sewing machine classes

Term 1 – 2026 (8 Weeks)

2 Feb – 27 Mar
(We start one week later so children can settle into school first.)

Our after-school sewing classes are held in Preston and open to all school-aged children, from Prep to teens. We are proud to be Melbourne’s only sewing school teaching children from age five.

Not sure if your child is ready? Book a casual class and we’ll assess their maturity for safe sewing-machine use.

Location: 18/509 High Street, Preston

What We Do

In our 55-minute classes, children learn to:

• Use the sewing machine safely

• Mend and upcycle

• Explore beginner fashion design

Each child works on their own project at their own pace.

Who Can Participate

School-aged children, from 5 years old up to teens.

Safety

We teach strong safety habits and supervise closely. Small needle pricks or minor accidents may occasionally happen—this is a normal part of learning to sew, and we always manage them calmly and safely.

We also respect the privacy of all children, so no photos are allowed during class. If you’d like a photo of your child sewing, please speak with us to organise one.

Pricing

Term 1 (8 weeks): $320
Term 1 is a shorter term.
Each 10-week term: $380

All sewing machines and materials are included.

We also offer a 10% sibling discount, automatically applied when enrolling two or more children in the same term.

What to Bring

Nothing is required.
Children may bring:

• A water bottle

• A small snack if needed

All sewing equipment and supplies are provided.

We do not permit mobile phone use during class, so children are asked to keep their phones away for the duration of the session.

Parent & Sibling Access

For safety reasons, parents and siblings are not permitted inside the sewing room during class time.

Parents don’t need to stay, but you’re welcome to relax in our parent area. Power points are available if you’d like to work while you wait!

Entry, Exit & Supervision

• For safety, the front door remains locked during class.

• The door is opened between sessions to let children in and out safely.

• No child is permitted to leave the studio unaccompanied.

If a parent is running late, children will wait safely in the waiting room until collected.

Please ensure prompt arrival for both drop-off and pick-up.

Make-Up Classes

Make-up classes may be booked in another available session during the same term, if space allows.

Please note:

• Make-up spots are not guaranteed

• Missed classes cannot be refunded, credited, or carried over

• Parents are responsible for rescheduling as soon as they know their child will be away

• Make-ups are a courtesy and cannot be arranged after an unexplained absence

• To maintain safe supervision, we may decline make-up requests if a class is already full
