It depends on the class.  Prices for our one-day group workshops and school break camps usually include the cost of fabric.

Question 14

What are your COVID-19 safety measures for your classes?

Accepted Answer

Class participants or their guardians will be required to read and sign a Release and Waiver of Liability.  If you, your child or anyone in your household is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, it is your responsibility not to attend the studio.   Classes will be limited to a maximum 6 students and two instructors per class.  Students will be limited to one camp or class per week. Customers may be admitted from time to time during camps or classes on a controlled basis. All sewing machines, sewing tools, irons, tables, counters, chairs and high-touch surfaces such as door handles, bathrooms and sinks will be sanitized before each class. Parents or guardians will be asked to drop off and pick up children at the door of the studio.  No parents, guardians or siblings will be allowed in the studio. Children may be dropped off for class no earlier than 10 minutes before the start of class and picked up no later than 10 minutes after the end of class.  This allows us sufficient time to ensure the studio has been sanitized and is ready for the start of the next class. Students will be asked to wash their hands upon entering and when leaving the studio.  Hand sanitizer will be made available for students to use at other times during class. Each child will be assigned his or her own sewing table, sewing machine and a basket of sewing tools.  Students will be expected to use their assigned machine and tools only.  Sewing tables will be spaced so that students are sitting a minimum of 2 metres apart from each other. Students and instructors are strongly encouraged to wear a non-medical mask at all times while in the studio. Students may bring to class a labelled water bottle and small snack if they wish.  Students will be asked to wash their hands before and after snacks.  Snacks will be eaten at their sewing tables only. Families will answer questions during sign in to ensure each student is fit to participate. Parents must confirm their child is not experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 including: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat or painful swallowing, loss of sense of smell, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. If a child or any family member in the household is experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or has been instructed by public health to self-isolate or quarantine, do not come to the studio. If an instructor observes any symptoms or signs of illness in a child, parents will be contacted immediately to pick up the child and no credit or refund will be given. If an instructor is feeling ill we will cancel the class or camp with as much notice as possible and credit will be applied to a future class or camp.

Question 15

What is your class cancellation and refund policy?

Accepted Answer

We allow withdrawals or transfers (space permitting) up to 10 days prior to the start date of any class or camp.  Students who withdraw by this time may apply 100 percent of their fee to a future class or camp or receive a full refund.  If the withdrawal request takes place within 10 days of the start of the class or camp the studio will issue a 50 percent refund or credit to be used at a future date.  Once a class or camp as begun, no refunds will be issued.  All class transfers are based on availability.   Should the studio need to cancel a class or camp due to low enrollment, all students will be notified and full refunds will be given.
