A place to sew and grow
- and go from slow to pro, as your best creative self!
Sewdeliska Sewing Classes have been delivering friendly, inspiring classes in Perth, Western Australia, since May 2014. They are run as small groups of up to 4 sewists. Each sewing student is assisted when and as they need, on their own desired project. We also have products to support your sewing journey and save you time, from scissors to a select range of 'indi' patterns.
Jemma, the fashion-trained, industry experienced and friendly sewing instructor, facilitates creativity and style by guiding students through the processes and techniques of reading patterns, laying and cutting fabric, using and navigating a sewing machine, tool use and conducting garment fittings.
Sewing students learn how to make clothes and other items that look professional - no longer dissatisfied with that 'home-made' look and fit. You will start to make stylish, well-made and well-fitted projects amongst a creative community of sewists : D
Beginner to more advanced sewists are accommodated and classes are run with the 10 week, Australian school terms. The small groups are friendly and diverse.
The custom-built, solar-passive, studio is a well-lit, comfortable and inviting space throughout the heat of summer days and cool of winter evenings. ** The studio is completely solar-powered ! **
So don’t hesitate to contact Jemma on 0422 910 572 to find out how to develop and improve your sewing skills today!
I customised these #secondhandjeans this week. I bought some used, Decjuba distressed flares online and wasn’t enamoured with the gaping knee holes in the end, as most of the white yarns had snapped. I have a collection of #doilies from yesteryear and decided that the jeans and the incredible doilies deserved a second life - don’t worry, I used one that was somewhat perished in sections, I couldn’t bring myself to deconstruct one otherwise. I might actually back it with some nude mesh (a small #remnant from a bridal job) to stop rubbing and wear and tear. I’ll attach the #doily with a diagonal hand stitch for the control. Then I’ll probably machine stitch the mesh with a small zigzag stitch. I haven’t got a matching thread otherwise I’d used the #GuttermanMaraflex because it’s an area that’s moving a lot. If you don’t know how, come to Sewdeliska to learn!

I tried my hand at making a #clutchbag with pleather. I lined it with off-cut satin, residual from a bridal client, from years ago.
I lightly quilted it but wish I’d had a different product that was stiffer to do so - the reason … it ended up looking more toiletries bag than clutch IMO 🤭🤔🤦🏼♀️ By the way, enrolments opened for Term 4 today. Tuesday evening has sold out. If there’s enough demand I might put on another after hours session. Let me know if Wednesday evening is for you. #handmadeaccessories #sew #sewingperth #perthfashion #sewdeliskasewingstudio
Enrolments open at midnight tonight 23/9/24, for prospective sewing students. It’s first in best dressed tomorrow for session times so jump over to the website for online booking at Sewdeliska.com.au/classes and get clicking to avoid disappointment. Session places are limited to 4 people. You’ll be guided through projects of your choice (within reason/capability 😉). Sewing is a great life skill for creativity but also sustainability with repairs and upcycling 😍 both I have been doing this week with some Depopped, distressed jeans that I received via post.

Marcia has bravely been chipping away at this intermediate, dress style McCall’s 8405, refining the fit for some asymmetric body challenges. Soon she’ll top-it-out with a lovely, two-piece, blouson sleeve. There are so many seam lines to it, which gives a lot of adjustment possibility. #mccalls8405

Have you ever tried to sew something and couldn’t work out what was wrong with the instructions or pattern? It happens- pattern makers make mistakes. Take this pattern above, #mccallsM8281. The armhole facings are not consistent in width. You can see where I have overlayed the pattern pieces to check if the seam length was even - they’re not. Fortunately it doesn’t happen often but it’s not the first time. I informed Burda of an inverse misprint in their sleeve sizes once #burda6520.

A private, sewing student came in last week with this #antiquesewingtreasure. I had to capture it to show you! Long ago there were so many manufacturers of sewing accoutrements. It’s so sad that so much of what is being produced now is substandard and all the smaller artisan producers fell by the wayside with the enslaught of Mass-produced clothing and people stopped lost the skills to make their own. So as we know, one often gets what one pays for so don’t be too stingy! 😆 Everything I sell I stand behind and find quality and still affordable items. I spend hours sourcing products which I am happy to use and share with you in my online store (Australia-wide postage). If you want more product info please click through to the store via the bio or call 0422910572. 🙂 #antiquesewingtools #fashiondesign
