Hi Everyone,

I just can’t believe the fantastic time I’m having on our sewing tour. Each day is filled with visiting wonderful places and meeting gorgeous creative people!

I’m pleased to share our 5th stop which was to Little Hands Designs. It was here that we met with the director Astrid Jacoby and even got to spend some time assisting students in one of Astrid’s sewing classes!

Astrid and her team at Little Hands Designs help students from 8 to 88 years, develop their own style, experiment with different materials, design with or without dressmaking patterns and master the sewing machine.

Astrid & Maree

Little Hands finds its niche in providing students with practical skills and a way of approaching problems which enables them to find solutions for themselves. Their work is project based and students are taught skills and are encouraged to approach any difficulties along the way which are then universally transferable.

In the video below we interview Astrid about her sewing school at Little Hands Design.

Astrid takes us on our tour around her sewing school to see the amazing designs and creative projects she challenges her students to make!

In the video below one of Astrid’s sewing students Helen shares with us a gorgeous skirt she made!
