Questions parents ask

Does my child need to have sewn before?

No. Lots of children come for their very first go on a machine. Classes are one-to-one, so the teacher starts wherever your child is.

Do we need our own sewing machine?

No, we have machines in the studio. If your child has one at home, bring it along (with its power lead and foot pedal) and they'll learn on the machine they'll use. Thinking of buying one? Read our buying guide.

How old do they need to be?

Studio classes are for ages 6 and up. For younger children, our school sewing clubs start from Year 1.

What if we need to move a class?

Reply to your confirmation email at least 24 hours before and we'll find another time.

Can we book a time that isn't listed?

Get in touch and we'll see what we can do, including the odd weekend or holiday morning.
