Sydney's best crochet teacher

Sydney's best crochet teacher ✿

Meet Gina Rose Drew – Sydney’s Queen of Crochet!

We’re so excited to welcome Gina to Studio Inner West as our resident crochet tutor. Known as Sydney’s best crochet teacher (yep, we said it), Gina has been stitching up magic since she was knee-high to a grasshopper. Crochet has always been her creative happy place and teaching crochet is her calming passion project paired with a good cuppa and a cosy afternoon.

She’s now sharing her skills with us! Whether you’re a total newbie or looking to refresh your stitching, Gina’s got you.

Pick your favourite yarn, come as you are, and let Gina show you how relaxing (and addictive) crochet can be. Tea included, of course.
