The pleasant findings from our online workshops:

September 6, 2020 by Danielle Leave a Comment

As we run more an more online workshops and private lessons, we are finding that there a lot of pleasant advantages to this delivery mode and we wanted to share them with you.

You can learn in the comfort of your own home, we’ve had students snuggled up on the couch, professionally setup at their work from home desks, cleverly tucked away in their crafting corner or bolstered by pillows in their comfy beds! 

Tardiness is avoided because you don’t have to plan your public transport trip, or juggle travel time and parking, then finding the venue. It’s never been easier to avoid being late to class.

While we’re all further apart, this delivery method means we’ve never been closer! By using multiple cameras you get to see what your teacher is doing in different ways. See your teacher like she’s at your kitchen table, or view what she’s doing as if you were peering right over their shoulder.  

You can access new support, you still have your detailed handouts and we’re adding more video references on YouTube. During class we can share more references during discussions.

With our teacher and host model for workshops it’s focused and allows you to engage with teachers and the other participants. We have a host who liaises throughout the class via the chat, relaying questions without interrupting the teacher’s audio.

New Online Workshops

July 22, 2020 by Danielle Leave a Comment

We have started offering online workshops! This week we added a whole new class to our line up – How to Use Your Sewing Machine.

We know that people often buy machines but things don’t go to plan and sometimes that shiny new machines doesn’t make it out of the box. Or, those bird’s nest threads underneath your fabric and other things that go wrong were just too much frustration – we get it and we’re here to help.  This newest workshop is a 2 hour workshop to give you the confidence to start to play around on your new sewing machine.

Check out this new workshop and our other online classes – click here.

Calming, creative & soulful skills

June 17, 2020 by Danielle Leave a Comment

relaxing hobbies

If you are looking for ways to unwind, relax, make the stress of your day stop, crochet or knitting could be your hobby. Let our teachers Lorena and Amy show you how these handcrafts encourage imagination and develop your artistic side. Stimulate the logical part of your brain, distract the chatty bit in the back and calm yourself with these creative therapies. 

“Spending time on an activity that you enjoy can improve your mental health and wellbeing. Research shows that people with hobbies are less likely to suffer from stress, low mood, and depression. Activities that get you out and about can make you feel happier and more relaxed. Group activities like team sports can improve your communication skills and relationships with others.”

Workshop phased reopening

June 10, 2020 by Danielle Leave a Comment

After a lonely ten weeks of shutdown, Thread Den is finally getting back into the workshop!

Making a COVID-SAFE workshop:

The footprint of the workshop allows for Thread Den to have 26 people onsite, or 13 in each workroom and maintain physical distancing regulations. New protocols have also been introduced covering cleaning, the approach to teaching and the introduction of loads of sanitiser and disinfectant.

Danielle, Thread Den’s owner explained:

“Our biggest change and an exciting improvement was changing our sewing workroom to now house six individual sewing stations. They are 4x4metres and are each kitted out with their own sewing machine, an overlocker, a steam generator iron, shears, sewing kits and all the required tools for a class.” 

An investment has been made to create a space that is achieving social distance regulations, but still feels nurturing to students and providing every support possible while they learn to sew. Past students and Thread Den’s members will see many more tools, new appliances, machinery and furniture. New protocols to establish a COVID-Safe workshop have been implemented and there has been a reduction in the maximum class size from 8 down to 6 students for all workshops.

You can take a peek at the ongoing progress on our Instagram.

Not everything kicks off at the same time, read on for details of the phased workshop schedule for June, July and August…
