About this event
Hosted within The Nest Haberdashery, our Learn 2 program offers a truly unique shop-to-workshop experience. As you enter The Nest Haberdashery, your excitement will grow as you’re dazzled by the treasure trove of colourful reclaimed fabrics, buttons, and yarns waiting to ignite your creativity.
Since 2015, The Nest Community has shared hand-making skills with countless women as part of our sustainability ethos. Workshops are facilitated by our program co-ordinators who not only participate in our textile resource recovery program but are also expert makers with years of experience.
Our beginner workshops use reclaimed materials from our social enterprise so that we can keep them low-cost and accessible to more people.
The best part about learning at The Nest is that you become part of a vibrant community. Even after your workshop has finished, you can always drop by the haberdashery and chat to a volunteer to get a tip or expert advice.
What you will learn to:
- Thread, adjust and maintain a sewing machine
- Match thread and needle to different fabric types

- Make a simple tote bag
We request that you use one of our sewing machings for this class.
