Sit, Knit & Sew: Craft Circle
Work on your current project with like-minded crafters with our textiles and fashion courses in Sydney!
Do you have an unfinished project waiting for attention, or are you ready to dive into a new creative adventure? This relaxed and welcoming class is the perfect opportunity to enjoy uninterrupted time on your projects — whether that's sewing, knitting, patchwork, quilting, garment making, or simply tackling your mending pile.
Whether you're looking for companionship, motivation to finish things off, or just a regular creative outlet, this casual class provides the ideal setting. Bring along your work and enjoy the supportive company of fellow makers.
This is not a formal teaching course, but an informal craft circle hosted by an experienced facilitator who can offer technical guidance when needed.

Terms & Conditions
At Sydney Community College, we know that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether it’s a shift in your schedule, a family emergency, or just a change of heart, we want to support you in the fairest way possible.
At the same time, we’re a not-for-profit organisation that commits resources to running each class—so last-minute cancellations can significantly impact our ability to offer quality, affordable programs.
That’s why we’ve created a simple, transparent policy that balances your need for flexibility with our need to plan and deliver courses sustainably. Our cancellation policy offers two clear options, depending on when you notify us:
Cancel More Than 10 Days Before the Course Starts – You can choose to receive a full refund, minus a $45 administration fee OR a non-refundable credit note valid for 12 months for the full value you paid for the course. This credit can be used towards any future course at the College.
