By Skye Skye & Nic are weaving their talents with fashion, fun & creativity via sewing workshops and design. Her passion is to bring back the lost art of sewing.

In the heart of the vibrant Gold Coast community, two fabulous sisters, Skye and Nic, have come together to weave their unique talents into a business venture that blends fashion, fun and self care, igniting a new spark in the local scene. With a shared passion for creativity, determination, and a deep-rooted love for their beach community life, Skye and Nic are the driving force behind their exci

ting endeavor. Skye: The Fashion Artisan

Skye's journey in the world of fashion began with a dream and a sewing needle. Armed with a clothing and production diploma, she embarked on a remarkable career, gaining experience at some of the most prestigious names in the industry. From the exquisite bridal designs at Hilde Heim to the opulent creations of Paul Hunt Couture, Skye honed her skills in crafting garments that were nothing short of works of art. Her stint at Palace Bridal Couture in Paddington, Sydney, and Grace Loves Lace Bridal further enriched her expertise in bridal couture and event fashion. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for perfection, Skye is the creative genius behind their fashion endeavours. But Skye isn't just about creating beautiful clothing or fast fashion, she is a firm believer sustainability and upcycling, nothing beautiful should go to waste, or be added to landfill when there are so many other creative possibilities. Her designs reflect this belief, embracing a diverse range of styles. From fixing a button, doing your own alterations to making your perfect outfit. The Skye is the limit. Nic: The Events and Lifestyle Enthusiast

Nic, on the other hand, brings a different but equally valuable set of skills to the table. With a diverse 15-year career in event management and administration, she is well-versed in the art of organisation and the intricacies of running successful events. Her love and passion for well-being is demonstrated through her previous venture, the Lazy Cows passion project, which focused on promoting a healthy lifestyle and wellness practices among the local community. Nicole's experience in event management, coupled with her dedication to wellness, makes her the backbone of their business operations. She ensures that every class and collaboration runs seamlessly, allowing Skye's creative genius to shine while taking care of the logistics behind the scenes. Nicole believes sewing classes can contribute to overall wellness by providing a creative outlet, which is also mediative and improves concentration, fostering a sense of accomplishment, and social bonding with a sense of community. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewist, the act of sewing can positively impact both your physical and mental well-being and it’s good old fashion fun! A Shared Vision

Living their best life at the Gold Coast, Nic and Skye share a deep connection to their community. Their joint venture is not just about business; it's about giving back and enriching the lives of those around them. Their vision is to create a fashion and self care haven that fosters creativity, self-expression, and a sense of community. Through their unique blend of fashion design and sewing classes, they aim to inspire and empower individuals to feel their best, both inside and out. With Skye's impeccable fashion sense and Nicole's organisational prowess, the sisters of BySkye are poised to make a lasting impact on the Gold Coast, creating a legacy of beauty, wellness, and community spirit. Together, they are weaving dreams, one stitch at a time, and bringing a touch of glamour and vitality to their beloved coastal paradise.

If you'd told me a few years ago that starting a little sewing business with my sister would one day lead to volunteering in Timor Leste, I probably wouldn't have believed you.

But in just a few weeks, that's exactly where I'll be.

I'll be travelling to Timor Leste to volunteer as part of Feto Forte, Futuru Forte (Strong Women, Strong Future) an incredible program led by Kelly Harding that supports women through education, leadership, wellbeing and practical life skills.

Many of you know me through BySkye Sewing, but before that I spent many years working in event management and business development. Looking back, it's amazing how every chapter of my career has prepared me for this opportunity.

During the program I'll be helping facilitate workshops around building confidence, recognising personal strengths, setting goals, leadership, developing business ideas and encouraging women to see the value in the skills they already have. But more than anything, I hope to be part of creating a space where women feel seen, supported and empowered to believe in themselves.

Starting BySkye has taught me that sometimes all it takes is someone believing in you, giving you an opportunity, and helping you recognise the value in your own skills. That's exactly what I hope to share with the women I'll meet in Timor Leste.

The program is delivered in partnership with PROEMA, an organisation in Timor Leste that works alongside women from challenging backgrounds to provide education, practical skills and opportunities to build brighter futures. Together we'll be creating a safe space where women can learn, connect, grow in confidence and support one another.

Although I'll be sharing my experience, I already know I'll come home having learnt so much from these incredible women. Their strength, resilience and determination are inspiring, and I feel incredibly grateful to have been invited to be part of this journey.

Like all of the volunteers, I'm donating my time and covering my own travel costs. We've also launched a fundraiser to help provide the resources needed to deliver the workshops and support the women taking part in the program. If you'd like to support this incredible initiative or simply help by sharing this post I would be so grateful.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help us make a meaningful difference.

❤️ Thank you for your support. Nic
