Sewing and Embroidery
Angel Contreras is a Latin American artist living in Melbourne. He’s been making his own clothes since he was 15 and has had his clothing brand – All Angels Are Aliens – since 2019.
Specialising in upcycling and only using second-hand materials, Angel’s one-off pieces are all hand- and machine-sewn in his studio in Brunswick. He is a master of the innovative and the experimental and uses screen-printing, airbrushing, and freehand embroidery to bring a new ultra-modern feel to secondhand clothes. Make sure to follow him on Instagram and TikTok to see him in action.
We are so happy to have Angel come through our doors as a guest teacher – and now is your chance to access his templates and ideas to rework your piece – whether it be hoodies, jeans, tote bags, flannel shirts, and more.

Don’t worry if your confidence isn’t huge – Angel will recommend projects to fit your skill level! Open to adults and young adults. Men and non-binary folk are encouraged to attend!

Teaching sewing skills that will last a lifetime. Learn to sew and mend with knowledgable, patient teachers in a friendly, inclusive environment. All ages, genders and abilities welcome!
The School of Sewing & Upcycling began in 2015. We set up in a small shop in Buckley Street, Footscray and began to share our love of sewing with you. In 2019, we shifted to our current home right on the border of Footscray and Yarraville – a big, bright and welcoming space where many people come to hone their sewing skills.
In February 2023, Zoe took over the business from Gaye (who still teaches) and in May 2023 moved into new space in Whitehall Street, Footscray.
At SOSU, we believe that sewing is a wonderful life skill and we want to share it with you. Learning how to alter and mend the things that you have as well as learning the skills to create your own gorgeous garments will help you to be more creative and sustainable. We offer a wide range of full and half-day workshops or ongoing courses that will build, refresh or consolidate your sewing skills. We have a great mix of beginner and skilled sewers of all ages learning at our school. We can also arrange private lessons for those that learn better one-on-one. It’s just you and your teacher so that you can really get into that special project.
