Fitzroy Class Timetables
Sewing Lounge, Australian Independent Design, Vintage
Sewing classes at Thread Den cater to all skill levels, so whether you are a beginner sewer learning to thread a bobbin for the first time, or if you are a more experienced sewer looking to expand on your existing skills, we have a class to suit your needs. We’re always open to suggestion so drop us a line with new class ideas.
Classes are delivered in a relaxed, social style by designers and industry professionals. At Thread Den we're aware that modern ladies and gents are short of time, so classes are broken down into single lessons or short courses (usually no more than 3 or 4 sessions) to keep your time free for more creating!
If you're new to sewing, you might want to take advantage of our current offer, where you can book Sewing Basics Mod 1, 2 & 3 for $180 (usually $225 if booked individually). And don't forget our ongoing promotion: book any three classes at the one time to receive a 10% discount off the total bill.
For all bookings visit us in store or phone 03) 9486 9821.
