About

Lil Sew ‘n’ Sews Handmade is a Capricorn Coast based business, providing sewing classes for primary and secondary students in the Yeppoon, Emu Park & Rockhampton region and creating sewn and embroidered goods for the home, nursery and school.

Hello, I'm Wendy! The owner and creator of Lil Sew 'n' Sews Handmade, I have lived in the Capricorn Coast area, nestled in Yeppoon for nearly forty years with my husband Carl, raised our two children Nicholas and Patrick and now spoiling my grandchildren Saige & Wilka; whilst teaching the new generation of Yeppoon students a life skill that has been vanishing before us. 

From playing on the sewing room floor watching my Mum stitch and create, to learning from her and making my own clothes, sewing has been a lifetime activity. I could see the knowledge and skill of sewing being forgotten and saw an option to remedy it, and Lil Sew 'n' Sews began! 

I work to teach as many children who are willing learn the life skill that sewing provides them and love to see my students arrive every week with a smile and desire to learn. They are little sponges, asking questions and creating pieces that are practical to use, wear or gift. When student's lessons finish, they often want to keep going and hesitate on leaving, which makes my heart sing knowing that they are enjoying sewing so much.
