Hello everyone.
I am a Freelance Educator based in Townsville.
I am passionate about sewing, and enjoy planning and teaching classes to others who have a similar interest in creative sewing.
Whether you are a beginner sewer, or wish to extend your sewing skills, I can help and advise.
I offer general project classes and specific sewing activities at my studio.
Also, I travel extensively throughout the north and far north of Queensland, as well as interstate. Therefore, my studio opening hours are limited.
I teach persons in sewing groups and store customers alike. Please check my workshop page for details and updates of my travel commitments, as these directly affect my studio contact time.
Take time to peruse my website. Hopefully, there are ideas which will inspire you.
Happy stitching
Jane
