Hi there! I started my small business Lucy macht in July 2024 to scratch that creative itch I wasn't getting from secondary teaching. I've been a sewer since learning in high school, worked at a fabric store for several years, self-taught to extend my skills and love all things handmade! My passion for colour, dogs and sparking joy in the little things is what drives me everyday!

With 6 years of experience teaching languages; English as an additional language to new refugees, to German from Year 7 - 12, I love helping and witnessing people learn a new skill and confidence in something they've never tried before. I've been told I'm incredibly patient, calm and personable; perfect ingredients for a cosy vibe right? I would love to teach fresh beginners to intermediates who are looking to learn a new technique.

Something I love about sewing; YOU GET TO MAKE THINGS EXIST. "I wish it had...XYZ" Nekminnit, I've made something for that. "Urgh it doesn't have any pockets"..."not anymore it doesn't!"

After a workshop (or two!) I hope you guys can walk away with a new found appreciation of how things are made, especially in today's fast-fashion world, whilst also unlocking all the possibilities sewing gives you!
