About Beginner Sewing Classes
The Beginner’s Face To Face Sewing Classes will soon have you sewing like a professional, even if you’ve never used a sewing machine.
Our cleverly structured classes are easy to follow and can take you from beginner to expert. You will learn on your own sewing machine and become confident enough to continue at home.
We won’t just teach you how to read and follow a pattern. In fact, we won’t even ask you to bring along a pattern and fabric to your first beginner sewing class. Instead, we will teach you how to read a pattern and how fabrics move, before you go out and buy both.
Once you master the basics, you will start learning all the insider secrets that dressmakers use to produce perfectly tailored garments.
I enjoy attending the sewing classes at Sew n Sew whether it’s a 2 hour class or an all day session. Learning how to make a sewing pattern is one of the best things that I’ve ever decided to do. I no longer have to buy expensive patterns and try to make them fit. Christeen’s knowledge of sewing, design, pattern making and suggestions is invaluable. I would recommend Sew n Sew to anyone who wishes to learn to sew.

I love coming to Saturday sewing classes that Christeen hosts. I think she is a wonderful teacher. The class itself is the highlight of my week and Christeen creates such a warm and comforting environment for everyone.
Before I met Christeen I hadn’t even touched a machine. Since coming to her classes I have finished my beginners course and I have so far made a cute top, dress for a baby girl and on my way to making a saree crop top/blouse.
Christeen is super professional, friendly and has so much experience and knowledge.
Thank you so much for all that you have taught me so far Christeen! I highly recommend Christeen and all her classes to anyone
Meet Christeen Jacobs
This Beginners Sewing Classes are developed and run by Christeen Jacobs, an industry expert with over 30 years of experience in the bridal and evening wear field.
Christeen grew up watching her mother, who was a gifted seamstress, to sew and bead beautiful gowns. “Sewing is an art”, she would tell her, “every seam must be perfect. The inside of the garment should look as good as the outside”.
Christeen loved the way her mother could turn a simple picture into a work of art. She followed in her mother’s footsteps, and went on to run her own made-to-measure Bridal and Evening wear business in Sydney for many years. She even won Gown of the Year three years running for her handmade creations.
But her real passion lies in teaching others how to create and sew their own garments, as well as giving them the freedom to wear what they want. She loves watching their faces light up as they realise what they can achieve after their first lesson.
