Skirt Assembly on October 30th at 1:15pm - 2 Hours

We've received quite a few inquiries and requests for classes and skills based on making a basic zippered skirt. In response, we are be offering this 2 hour course on how to assemble a basic zippered skirt. We'll address some neat tricks, including demystifying zipper insertion, how to get the right hem from the start and more. This course is offered via 2 classes in succession. 

We recommend you have taken Edge Finishes and Hems, and Simple Seams for best results before taking this 2 part course. But if you are feeling adventurous, then let's sew!

So watch for these in your email!

FAQs

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Just send an email using this form, click on contact the organizer in the upper right of this page!

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No, you can also flash your receipt on your smart-thingy when you arrive.

What is the refund policy?

Classes are non-refundable. We will do our best to accommodate last minute emergencies, but please be respectful of the instructors and fellow students and only reschedule when absolutely necessary. No-shows WITHOUT PRIOR CONTACT BEFORE CLASS for rescheduling will NOT BE RESCHEDULED and your ticket will not be repurposed.

Please arrive 5 min early for class, arrivals later than 10 min from the schedule start time will be considered a no-show

In order to be respectful and have a full class session for all, PLEASE arrive 5 minutes early for class. This allows time for setup and settling in so we can start promptly. The building is secured, so your late arrival means disrupting class for others to admit your entry. If you are later than 10 minutes to class, you will be considered a no-show, we will not pause class to unlock the building, and you will need to reschedule your class at your own expense. We have recently had many, many students showing up late to class, and it not only disrupts the class in session, but throws off the entire schedule the rest of the day.

Please be respectful and be on time.

The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?

Yes, if you can't make a class or want to buy a class for a friend, that's ok. If you can let us know in advance, that'd be great, if not, make sure you or your friend can reference who bought the ticket so we know it wasn't stolen or hacked.
