Sew Shop: Sewing Open Studio
$35
Bring your sewing project, a pattern, cloths that need mending, your unfinished halloween costume, or just your desire to sew, and join us for Sew Shop! This is an open studio for sewists, a chance to use the studio's sewing machines, sergers, printer, and big tables, and to hang out with a community of sewists. Trade tips + tricks, be inspired, mend some clothes, or simply carve out some quality time for your sewing.
We will have a curated selection of small projects available to choose from, along with fabric options for those of you who want to come and sew but are not currently in the middle of a project. Projects available might include zipper pouches, sewing kits, bookmarks, pen holders, etc.
Our standard printer will be available to print A4 pattern files. We have a paper cutter and tape available to assemble patterns as well.
Hand sewing needles, embroidery needles and thread, fusible, poly-fil, iron-on adhesive backing, and other sewing notions will be available, but please be sure to bring your own if you need something specific.
Sew Shop Guidelines:
This is uninstructed time. We will have a staff member in the studio to help out and offer guidance on projects, but we may not be able to offer personalized instruction.
We have 6 sewing machines + 6 sergers available for rent. Please reserve one at checkout if desired. Prior experience is REQUIRED to use our machines. Please check out our website for a current list of our workshops if you are looking for experience :) Machine Rentals are $15
If you would like to bring your own sewing machine, please let us know at checkout so we can be sure there is enough table space for you.
Our Policies:
Please arrive 5-10 minutes early for your workshop. Workshops start on time. If you are more that 15 minutes late for your class, you may forfeit your chance to take the class.
You may cancel for a refund up to 21 days before the workshop. After that, workshop fees are not refundable.
We reserve the right cancel or reschedule a workshop with fewer than 3 sign ups. If you cannot attend the rescheduled date, you will receive a refund.
Please note that we may take photos during the workshop to use on social media. If you do wish to be photographed, please let the teacher know when you arrive.
If you are sick, please stay home. Call or email to let us know that you are not coming. You will receive a credit for a future class.
Last minute cancellations are extremely challenging for our guest teachers. Often times, materials have been meticulously prepared ahead of time. Keep in mind that late cancellations are a financial burden on these very special artists.
