How Payment Plans Work
I use a third party website, GoCardless, to manage payment plans for my sewing classes.
Simply fill in your details as requested, state how many payments you’d like your payment plan to be (there is a maximum of 2 for this sewing class) when prompted and pay your deposit. Your payment plan will be manually set up using the email address you provide and split into even payments.

Registering for a payment plan will automatically enrol you on the sewing class, and so the same cancellation policy applies.

sewing techniques relating to your garment
Before the course, I will be in touch to discuss with you the garment you are planning to recreate, and offer advice about the fabric that would be most suitable and any requirements there may be.
The first day is dedicated to creating a pattern from your existing garment. You will learn techniques to extract pattern pieces and ensure your pattern will work together. These skills will be able to be transferred to any other garment you may have at home also.
On the second day, you will be sewing your garment. Here we will be able to decipher the techniques that are needed to recreate the garment. This is called reverse engineering and it’s a fantastic way to learn.
​All the while there is tea flowing and snacks are on hand too.
Spaces are limited to 6Â students per class to provide the ultimate learning experience, this also ensures there will be plenty of time for personal fitting, advice and support.
