Hi, I'm Mel!
I've been teaching Textiles Technology in Australian secondary schools for over 14 years and have helped hundreds of students learn to sew with confidence.
I created The Sewing Teacher because I wanted beginners to have the same clear, supportive instruction my classroom students receive.
Whether you're learning your very first stitch or creating gifts for family and friends, my goal is to make sewing simple, enjoyable and achievable.
