Workshops

Workshop bookings

All workshop places need to be booked and paid in full in advance of the workshop. Workshop bookings should primarily be made via the website. Payments accepted in this way are through PayPal or credit/debit card. You should receive a confirmation email regarding the payment and booking.

Alternatively, workshop bookings can also be made in advance by a Paypal invoice. If this is the case, please get in touch via the contact page and relevant details will be given.

 Cancellation of workshop booking by customer

If you can no longer attend a workshop, as much notice as possible is appreciated. If 2 weeks or more notice is given prior to the workshop date then a full refund will be given. If less than 2 weeks notice is received, the workshop cost will only be refunded if the space can be filled. You will be offered the opportunity to transfer onto another workshop. Every effort will be made to readvertise the space but this can be difficult at short notice.

Cancellation of workshop by All About The Sew

Most workshops require at least 2-3 spaced to be filled in order to make the running of the workshop viable. If due to insufficient numbers the workshop needs to be cancelled as much notice as possible will be given, with a minimum of 48 hours prior to the start of the workshop.

If due to unforeseen circumstances the workshop needs to be cancelled by All About The Sew, as much notice as possible will be given.

In both circumstances a full refund will be offered. Alternatively the opportunity to book onto a subsequent workshop will be given.

Sewing Club cancellations

Please give as much notice as possible if you wish to cancel your booking, to give the opportunity for someone else to attend.

If you wish to cancel a sewing club booking, for a full refund, at least  24 hours notice is required. This allows sufficient time to open up the space to someone else. The option to transfer to another class  will also be offered (space permitting).

If less than 24 hours notice is given, a refund will not be possible unless the space can be filled by someone else. The option to transfer to another class  will be offered (space permitting).

COVID-19 Guidelines

Returning to face-to-face events can be unsettling. Please find below the guidelines that I shall be following to protect myself and my customers from COVID-19.

As of 24th February 2022, there are no remaining COVID-19 domestic restrictions in England.

• You are no longer legally required to self-isolate if you test positive for COVID-19. However, it is still encouraged that you stay at home if you test positive and avoid contact with other people.
• Please do not attend the studio if you have COVID-19 symptoms (a high temperature, new and persistent cough, or a loss or change in taste or smell), even if these are mild
• Whilst attending the studio, if it becomes apparent that a client is a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19, they will be politely asked to leave the studio.
• Current government guidelines for people with COVID-19 and their contacts can be seen here
• You may choose to do a LFT prior to attending a class although this is not compulsory.
• Studio users are requested to follow good hygiene practices, including using hand sanitiser when they enter the studio and washing their hands regularly.
• There will be hand sanitiser provided to use throughout the workshops.
• Face masks are no longer legally required in England and will therefore not be required whilst in the sewing studio. You are, of course, welcome to wear one and there will be some available if you forget one.
• Equipment and workspaces will be sanitised after each class/use.
• Regular cleaning of high touch points e.g. door handles will be performed.
• There will be adequate ventilation through the windows in the studio – if it’s a cold day you may wish to wear an extra layer.
