New to sewing or would like to try your hand at a wearable project? This Apron sewing workshop is the perfect intro to sewing. Learn the basics of using a sewing machine, pattern and make your own stylish apron! The topics covered include:

Fundamentals of using a sewing machine
How to use a pattern
What's seam allowance
Right side vs. Wrong side of fabric
Overstitch and reverse stitch

Choose from a selection of fun fabric prints or bring your own. If you decide to bring your own fabric, please plan for 1.5yards of non-stretchy fabric. Cotton, canvas or flannel should all work well. Avoid anything extra thick or synthetic such as vinyl or faux leather. These will not work with our sewing machines and are also difficult to work with for beginners.

How do I book for a workshop?

The best way to book for a workshop is through our website. We close sign up 48 hours prior to the workshop, or when it sells out, whichever comes first, so be sure to book ahead!

Can I bring my child to a workshop?

Yes, please make sure that your child is at least as old as the minimum age requirement for the workshop and that they are accompanied by an adult. Each adult can bring up to two minors to a workshop. Each child should have their own ticket and no more than 1 adult caretaker. Additional adults in your party should have their own ticket.

The workshop sign up is closed on-line, can I still sign up?

Please call the store to see if there is enough seating or materials available. Last minute accommodations are up to the discretion of the store staff and host. We recommend booking your tickets at least 48 hour in advance.

Can I bring a guest to the workshop and they'll just sit with me and watch?
All workshop attendees need to have their own ticket. However, an adult caretaker can accompany a minor younger than 18 years old free of charge (one adult per minor please). Check your workshop details for minimum age requirements to ensure that the workshop is appropriate for the minor.

Can I take my project home?

In most workshops, you will be able to complete and take the project home. However, some projects require curing or drying time and may need to stay at the store until ready. Please check your workshop description for details.

What should I do if I need to reschedule or cancel my workshop?

We can provide store credit or reschedule your workshop as long as you let us know at least 48 hours prior to the workshop. Please see our Refund Policy here for more details.

What should I do if I'm running late for my workshop?

We understand that traffic and emergencies happen and hope that you can make it to your workshop on time. If you arrive late, we will do our best to catch you up on the content and steps covered for the workshop, but your host is not able to stay beyond the scheduled end time for the workshop. If you cannot make it to your workshop, you can transfer your ticket to another person and they can attend in your place. Unfortunately we do not offer store credit or reschedules for no shows. Please see our Refund Policy here for more details.

I couldn't make it to the workshop yesterday, can I get a refund?

We do not offer refunds or store credit for no-shows. Please see our Refund Policy here for more details.

Can I bring my dog?

We regularly have doggy visitors and well-behaved and quiet pups that get along with other humans and dogs are welcome! However, we are not responsible if your dog ingests something they shouldn't.
