Learn to Sew!
Our most popular classes continue to be our range of Machine Essentials workshops where you can learn the basics of the Sewing Machine and also the Serger. Over the last fifteen years we have taught over 860 sessions to beginner sewists like you!
We’ve designed Essentials workshops to unlock the mystery of each machine and turn it into a tool you can confidently use! These classes are the first step to making all the projects of your dreams. We can't wait to help you along the way.

Kona Solid Cotton
the workroom is thrilled to offer the full spectrum of Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton colours, ensuring you will find the right shade that will bring your imagination to life. Available as yardage or in our wide range of curated fat quarter bundles.
If it were possible to give Karyn & the team at The Workroom 100 stars, I would! Their attention to detail, care & thoughtfulness are just a few reasons why I will continue to support their shop — bonus is that they carry the most amazing collection of goodies!
Great functional website that makes it easy to order and do local pick up! They are always super quick to get orders ready. Keeping me sane with sewing projects during the pandemic.
Great store, helpful staff, always have a great range of stock and their vintage button section is amazing!
I took the Sewing Machine Essentials class today with Johanna instructing.
I loved my experience, thank you!
Johanna was great. I feel like I walked away with tips & knowledge that could otherwise have taken me ages to figure out. And the class left me so excited about making things!
