Sew Sista Sewing Classes for girls in Brisbane Australia launches into selling adorable sewing cases for little girls (or boys)
If you haven’t heard about Sew Sista – in a nutshell its message is about ‘giving kids time and tools’.
Sew Sista teaches them the techniques to start sewing in a friendly, nurturing
environment and inspire their curiosity to learn more.
Through a business model of local workshops, quality products & community connection, They aim to create a sustainable business that gives the people who work in it just as much joy as their young customers.
After a year of hard work, its time to get on with the product line. Sewing cases, tools, kits & accessories that give the customer another option from what is currently in the stores. Really lovely stuff is what they want to bring you!
This is what the founder Kerry Rushton had to say:
Sewing the love…
Teaching kids how to sew has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.
Our little students leave with big smiles, clutching their creations and wave goodbye to
new friends. I started Sew Sista with the intention to inspire kids to sew and we have been
running Sewing Workshops for over a year now.
I loved sewing as a child and teenager, it gave me a creative freedom and purpose, whether it was making endless Barbie clothes or turning my jeans into a denim mini-skit (did anyone else do that?).
Knowing how to sew became a fundamental tool in designing my own individuality, it was challenging and fun.
Would other parents also value the benefits of this simple life skill? I quickly learned that
they did, through their immediate connection with the idea and their willingness to bring
along their girls. (Boys are welcome but the Branding has been purposely styled for girls).
If you want to know more (and have Chrissie presents to buy), then check out the ‘crowd
funding’ campaign page where you can help with a simple $5 donation or pledge to
receive some of our super gorgeous kits coming before Xmas.
Please pass it on if you like what you see, every bit helps.
Are you in in Brisbane? Then hopefully we’ll see you at a workshop soon.
My girls and I love Sew Sista, and in addition to being taught the basics of sewing, Kerry has inspired them to do more at home, plus they love the chance to sit and sew with friends. I think Sew Sista offers value, friendship and possibility to kids!
My daughter recently attended a Sew Sista holiday class with Kerry and Rita. My daughter had such a wonderful experience and was very proud of her first sewing project she made in the class (a gorgeous heart shape pillow with a pocket). Kerry and Rita ignited her passion for sewing. Since the class my daughter has made several bags and even some clothes for her dolls. We will definitely be enrolling in more Sew Sista classes and cannot recommend them highly enough.
