Sewing lessons are coming back!

As we've all done such as great job at physical distancing, our restrictions are starting to lift. Working within these new guidelines, some classes are coming back.  

Classes are held in our 100sqm studio so each class will only have 4 students max and we'll spread out as much as we can. There will be loads of hand sanitiser available, surfaces will be kept clean and plenty of opportunities for hand washing. 

If you are still not quite ready to come out of your bubble, have a look through some classes that we have available in the months ahead, sign up to the newsletter below...or purchase a gift voucher for a friend, or yourself! 

See what is available in the next few months!

What students are saying about UsefulBox

What a fantastic lesson !! I am a beginner sewer and booked in my first lesson. Caz was very friendly and welcoming. She explained everything clearly with lots of hands on experience. I have already started recommending lessons to other people.

I gained so much knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm to start sewing my own projects! Caz is a passionate, patient and knowledgeable teacher. She helped me gain an understanding of; how my sewing machine works, how to read patterns and how to problem solve...she certainly equiped me with the tools and confidence I needed to get me started. 

If you're after a professional, yet friendly and comfortable atmosphere where you can learn the fundamentals of sewing, Caz is your girl!!

I went to Caz's one day beginners sewing workshop yesterday only ever having switched my sewing machine on to make sure it worked. The workshop was great, I would highly recommend it. Caz really does start from the very beginning, covering the functions of your machine, how to read patterns and different types of stitches/seams.

About Me!

Hello there, I’m Caz and I would love to sew with you.  

UsefulBox sewing classes are for the absolute beginner or for a seasoned sewist looking to upskill.  

I began sewing when I was 9 years old and I haven't stopped.  I studied Fashion Design at the prestigious East Sydney TAFE but have found that the home sewing world is much more me! I sew pretty much all of my own wardrobe and also most of my 2 kids clothes.  

I love sewing and the solace it gives me.  I enjoy making something from start to finish and the proud feeling when you wear something you've made.  

I'm passionate about sewing for mental health and growing the sewing community in Sydney.  

I'm aim for UsefulBox to be your starting point for inspiration, how to’s, reviews and access to our amazing sewing community.
