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.

I had been wanting to do a sewing refresher for a long time. Could never find a place that worked time wise or the commitment was too long. Booked for one class and quickly returned to do another before Christmas. Vanessa has a wonderful setup with a large pleasant dedicated space for her classes. She was excellent, so patient and kind, a lovely lady. She also went above and beyond agreeing to me arriving a little early to refresh myself with the basics. So glad to have found Make It Nifty.
