Well, now you can learn all of these skills and more with this four-week short mending and alterations course in Melbourne!Beginning with the basics, you will gain the sewing skills you need to take in seams, let out waistbands, darn socks, machine darn jeans, patch holes, and more. Each week you will build up your practise and learn new techniques with expert guidance from Gaye.Bring along the projects you hope to achieve during the course and let Gaye guide you as to where to start and what you'll need.Whether you're a complete beginner or already have some experience with a sewing machine, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are and take you further. If you don't know how to use a machine, you can use hand-sewing techniques to achieve a lovely mended finish.By the end of the course, not only will you have learned new sewing skills, but you'll have reclaimed a whole part of your wardrobe to enjoy for years to come.Note: If you would like to purchase a good quality basic sewing kit we sell sewing starter packs (see extras: optional).

Your teacher
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.
