"Benita comes from a family of sewists, with a passion for the craft spanning three generations. With over 20 years of sewing experience, Benita has created garments for her children from when they were young. She learned stretch sewing at TAFE to expand her skills. Benita currently teaches children to crochet and loves seeing them create. Benita's enthusiasm for helping children discover the joy of creating something with their own hands makes her classes both fun and educational.

Benita has been a maker since she was a child, sewing her doll's clothes by hand and learning to crochet and knit with her Nanna.
During the 2021 Covid-19 Pandemic she decided to return to her love of making and start designing and making all the things she missed creating.
She loves to design surface patterns, sew and crochet. There are so many things she loves, how can you have a favourite?
Since Crochet is having such a renewed interest she is keen to show you all the wonderful things you can make with this craft.
