FAQs
Spaces on the courses are non-refundable. If you are unable to make a class, I will try to move you to another session. This will depend on a space being free and suitable for your ability level.
If a course does not reach capacity to run, you will be refunded or offered an alternative class.
Can I cancel my spot once I have booked?

Is the class accessible?
Yes, there is a ramp into the building and further information here. If you have any further questions regarding machine access etc please get in touch with me and I can help to ensure that you will be able to participate in all class activities.
Do I need sewing experience?
No, not if you are booking onto the Absolute Beginners class; this is aimed at those who need a complete refresher and/or have never touched a sewing machine.
If you are unsure of what level to book onto please get in touch.
What do I need to bring with me?
All equipment and machinery is supplied.
Fabric for practising is included and there is a small selection of it available for the Absolute Beginners course projects. If your course requires you to purchase fabric it will say so in the course description and you will receive an email in advance to starting the course with information on what you need to purchase.
You will also be offered a cup of tea and biscuit in each class but feel free to bring snacks!
Do you offer private tuition and dressmaking?
Yes! Please get in touch via this form to chat to me about it.
