IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT KIDS CLASSES

No Kids Holiday classes in January

We've made a hard decision here at Usefulbox HQ - we will NOT be hosting kids sewing workshops in the January holidays.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes and we feel that we can't give the kids a quality workshop at this time. We'll be back better ever after school returns.

However, our After School Sew Club WILL be going ahead in term , beginning on 31 January 2022.

What students are saying about UsefulBox

I am still buzzing from the calm found at a table with a humming machine.. not to mention your clever and creative mastery and warm authenticity!

Alecia

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.

Bec

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!!

Lisa

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.

Vikki

I would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people who are the Traditional Custodians of the land in which we live and learn. I would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present of the Eora Nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal & Indigenous people present at our workshops and events.
