💚ADULTS | Sit & Sew Social Sundays
Description
- Skill Level 3 plus - Confident Beginner and above: Attendees must be able to work independently on their own project. No formal instruction is provided during the event.
Sit & Sew Social Sundays are ideal if you want to connect with fellow home sewers who enjoy meeting others, sharing ideas, discussing fabric and patterns, and proudly showcasing their creations. Take advantage of the air-conditioned studio, and use the sewing tools, pressing tools and cutting tables.
Arrive at the studio, set up your sewing machine and get straight to sewing your latest project.
Use the large cutting table to cut out your newest project.
Get a fine finish by pressing with specialty tools.
Overlockers are available to finish seam allowances quickly.
There are also the usual sewing tools on hand – such as scissors, seam rippers, pins etc – or bring your own if you prefer.

Make It Nifty holds sewing and dressmaking classes in Bracken Ridge 30 minutes North of Brisbane CBD.
At Make It Nifty students are taught sewing techniques and knowledge while having a good time.
Students are encouraged to “give it a go”; progress is better than perfection. Students should leave class feeling happy that they have tried something new; proud that they made something with their own two hands and skill, and confident they could do it again.
Make It Nifty is a (very) small private business that was started in 2015 on Vanessa’s dining table.
Make It Nifty is now located in a studio space on the ground floor of Vanessa’s home in Bracken Ridge.
