Sewing Induction

Mend or make with our sewing machines to revive an old favorite, follow a pattern or test your design innovations. In this induction, you learn how to set up a machine, cut and pin, sew straight and make a handy tote bag to take home. 

Once you've completed the induction you can book and use State Library of Queensland's sewing machines at The Edge Open Lab.
