Chaotic Sewing

SPOTLIGHT ON: CHAOTIC SEWING CIRCLE

It's a sew-along! Each month, you'll make a different garment from scratch and do it in a community.

Learn to sew at this social sewing course in Sydney and learn to sew a new garment every month. This is a casual way to make new friends in Sydney or just a fun thing to do in Sydney with your mates!

New to sewing? That's totally fine. We are only sewing with beginner approved patterns. Pretty seasoned? It's a perfect environment for sewing in community and getting those extra tips and motivation.

All instructions, complete with videos, are sent out at least a week before class begins so you can start sewing in the first session.

Class sizes are limited to ensure sufficient space and assistance is available.

February pattern: Peppermint Magazine Loungewear Set
March pattern: Peppermint Magazine Bowden Dress

It's an open, participatory environment, so come ready to make new friends along the way.

All events are hosted by Chaotic Socialite Chrissy Flanagan and her deputy, poodle Bobbin.

There's a drink on arrival, and after that feel free to BYO drinks, there’s a BWS like two minutes walk away. Feel free to BYO snacks, or Public House is very close if you want to dine before or after.


About Chaotic Social

We’re really very friendly. Come stag, come with a mate, come with a whole crop of cousins, either way it’s a warm and inviting atmosphere and we mix and marinate.

Fair warning: I can’t swear there won’t be games, and there will definitely be nametags.
