HELLO!
Sonny and Scout (aka Lucy Merchant) is a Newcastle-based sewing teacher with over 25 years experience creating clothing, bags, homewares and gifts. She is a Sewcialist - a person who enjoys sewing, and loves connecting with like-minded others.
With a nerd-like enthusiasm and passion for all things sewing, she runs a range of courses, workshops and private lessons in a fun and supportive environment. Lucy teaches classes for all ages and skill levels: from creative people keen to learn sewing basics, to experienced sewists looking to hone their skills or seeking creative inspiration.
She also offers her skills for teaching clothing repairs and alterations. Lucy is a big believer in the re-use of items and reducing clothing waste.
And no, Sonny and Scout is not named after the kids! Scout is the cat, and Sonny is in honour of her husband (whose name is not Sonny).
In the spirit of reconciliation Sonny and Scout acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
