Social sewing sessions

Enjoy a calm and welcoming sewing session where you can focus on your own projects and spend time with others who love sewing.

This is a social sewing space rather than a workshop. There is no teacher or instructor, and participants work independently. The session is ideal for intermediate and advanced sewers who feel confident using sewing machines on their own. We have some sewing machines and overlockers available, along with basic sewing supplies.

A friendly, informal space to sew, share ideas, and connect with others who enjoy sewing. Our sewing machines may also be available for use on other days and times, depending on our centre programming. If you would like to use a sewing machine outside the Social Sewing Session, please give us a call to check availability. You are also welcome to drop in and use the sewing machines during our opening hours when they are free.

For enquiries or to let us know you are coming, please get in touch. We aim to deliver inclusive and accessible events. If you have any particular access or communication needs, please contact our community worker on 02 9265 9133 or email [email protected].

The Reginald Murphy Community Centre is open Monday to Friday 9:30am to 3:30pm. There is a table tennis table, computers, WIFI, books to borrow, a piano to play and sewing machines to use and tea and coffee all for free. A weekly community lunch is held on Wednesdays at 12pm for $10. Everyone is welcome!
