We uphold a stringent no-show policy to ensure fairness and optimal class experience for all our students. If you fail to attend a class without providing the required 72-hour notice, we are unable to offer a refund or credit for the missed session. This policy is in place to minimize disruptions and financial loss, ensuring that our classes remain viable and rewarding for both students and instructors.

In the event of a no-show, you will need to rebook and pay for a new class at a time that better suits your schedule. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but we encourage all our students to communicate any changes as early as possible to allow others the opportunity to fill the space. This not only supports our community-centric approach but also enhances the learning environment for everyone involved.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining the integrity of our class schedules and the quality of your learning experience.

We understand that delays can happen, but to ensure the quality and continuity of our classes, all students must strive to arrive on time. If you arrive late, you’re welcome to join the class already in progress. However, please note that the class will end as scheduled to respect the time of students scheduled after you and the instructor.  Ask your instructor about booking additional studio time to complete your class.

    I was fairly sure they'd each like the camp - but they were VERY vocal as soon as they got picked up about wanting to go back to camp asap so they could make more projects (pillows! stuffies! pillows for stuffies!) and have more time learning the sewing skills they saw all around them. It was a very supportive environment for new learners - great for self-directed kids and I will absolutely be signing them up again!

    My 7 year old daughter is currently going through a phase where she wants to be a fashion designer. So when I found out there was a sewing studio close to home I signed her up for a class. I was a bit doubtful because she was going in with zero experience. She was nervous and told me so before I dropped her off and you could tell she was scared when she was first introduced to the teacher (I didn’t get her name). But when I picked her up, she was so happy and showed me everything she made. She was so excited and asked to go back again. I will definitely be signing her up for more camp days.

    Both my daughters (ages 11 and 8) enjoyed a fun filled 3+ hours of sewing this week. They both have prior sewing machine experience, but are by no means experts. They made 4 projects during their time at the studio. They told me they had a blast, would love to go again, and couldn't wait to get to the higher level projects. I personally loved how cute and fun the studio was, and how the projects were broken up by level so the kids knew exactly what they were able to work on. As their first day there, they started at levels 2 and 3. I will be signing them up again soon!

    My kid has been asking for sewing lessons for so long and was SO excited to attend their first sewing session. It was everything they had hoped for. The teachers and students were incredibly welcoming and my kid was thrilled to make 3 items in their first afternoon. We will be back! Also, the booking experience was very easy and Brian was very responsive and helpful when I needed to adjust a booking. An all-round pleasant experience. Thank you!

    My child has been coming here for Sewing Saturdays and camps for a few years now. This spring break session was another great time for her! She loves working on projects here and I think since the start, she has enjoyed the independence of it too.

    We will be back again (and again!).

    Our daughter is so picky about camps and dislikes trying new things, so I was nervous about signing her up for sewing over February break. I shouldn’t have been! She didn’t want to leave at the end of each day and had a completed project she felt proud of. Her teachers were friendly, kind, and patient. We’d definitely return!

    I brought the boys I take care [5 and 7] of here a few times for summer camp and again for school break and the place is amazing. I was surprised that they had so many projects that appealed to little boys. The staff are so patient and seemed to have no trouble teaching a bustling room full of kids of different ages all at the same time. I thought I would have to sit with the little one and do everything for him but not only did I not have to, I wasn't allowed! They have a very independence-driven teaching style and it was amazing to see the little one take charge of his own project and do difficult tasks like threading a needle without complaining. I think this place is amazing for children, not just to learn to sew but to learn personal responsibility, how to handle minor frustration, how to fix a problem, and above all have fun and make something on their own. The stuffed toys they made are way cooler than all the macaroni art on the fridge ;)
