We offer fun and inspiring 4 day courses to girls and boys aged 9 -17 years  which are designed for our young and creative sewers of the future. We sometimes offer special classes for 7-9yr olds. Over the 4 days everyone will choose and make at least one project which will suit the age and ability of each student. This will be using hand sewing, machine sewing or often a combination of both. Don’t worry if you have never sewn before as we cater to all levels and we have loads of different projects to choose from! Sewing machines, overlockers and basic materials are provided ( see “what to bring ” below).

The Bronte Sewing Room offers one-on-one or group private classes in your own home. Weekdays or Saturdays, these classes are tailored to suit you and your needs. We offer private sewing classes for adults and kids plus private tuition for high school students who need help with their Design & Technology projects.
Simply email or call us to discuss what your needs are and we will do our best to accommodate you.

We understand that overlockers can be daunting and finding the time one needs to get to know your machine can be difficult. We can certainly help you get familiar with your overlocker and its features so you can happily use your machine at home…..

Whether you have an “oldie” or if you’re too scared to pull your new one out of its box, bring it along and we will go step by step with you until you are confident enough to use your machine by yourself.

Get in touch to arrange a private class with one of our fab teachers at a time to suit you. Private class cost is $80 per hour. You will need 1 to one and a half hours depending on your machine and how much you would like to know.

If you are already hooked on crochet and would like to further your basic crochet skills, this course is for you. If you are comfortable with your single, double and treble stitching, your teacher will further those skills and take you to another level of crochet. You will learn some fab new stitches and techniques during the 3 hours of fun! If there is something specific you would like to learn, just let us know.

Megan will talk you through sock yarns and patterns and introduce you to some of the different ways you can knit socks.

Pre-requisite knowledge: Ability to cast on, knit and purl and cast off.
