Need help with alterations, mending, or following a pattern? Perhaps some assistance with inserting a zip, changing an op shop find, sprucing up a pair of jeans, or learning to darn? Maybe you just want to hone in your sewing skills in a supportive and creative environment. Well, our project classes are back for Term Two!

Supporting all your creative sewing needs, our project based classes are in a small encouraging environment (maximum of 6 people) where 2 Upcycle Newcastle Team Members will support and guide you through your personal projects. Participants are able to use all our sewing machines (including semi-industrials), overlockers, cutting tables, rotary cutters etc.
