About Us
Sewing Workshops
At BySkye, we make sewing fun, approachable and something anyone can have a go at. Our workshops are designed for kids and adults, from absolute beginners to those wanting to build on their sewing skills.
We love teaching practical sewing skills while getting creative with fabric, upcycling and recycled materials. Whether you're learning to use a sewing machine, making something for yourself or giving something old a new life, there's always something new to learn.
We're excited to be taking our sewing workshops to SWELL Sculpture Festival 2026, with creative workshops for both kids and adults.
Come along, have a go and see what you can make!
BySkye Sisters
We're sisters Skye and Nic, and together we've created BySkye from our love of sewing, creativity and bringing people together on the Gold Coast and now also in Brisbane!
Skye is the sewing and creative side of BySkye, with a background in fashion and years of experience designing, making and teaching. Nic brings her background in events and business, making sure our classes are organised, welcoming and fun.
We're not about making sewing feel complicated or intimidating. We love helping people have a go, learn new skills and discover that they really can make things themselves.
Upcycling & Sustainable Sewing
We love giving things a second chance.
From pre-loved clothing and leftover fabrics to recycled materials, we're always looking for ways to reuse, repurpose and create something new.
Upcycling is a big part of what we teach at BySkye. It's about looking at something you already have and seeing what it could become, rather than sending it straight to landfill.
Whether you're transforming an old piece of clothing, using fabric scraps for a new project or creating something completely unexpected, we believe sewing is a great way to be creative while making more sustainable choices.
Make it. Wear it. Reuse it. Love it.
