For sewing teachers
A sewing class has as many places as you have machines, and every student wants to leave with something they made. Sell workshops with the machines as places, a course on set dates for a garment, and patterns as files.
Machines, patterns and a finished piece
Machines as places
A workshop holds the number of machines you have, and comes off your page once they’re taken.
Patterns as files
Sell your patterns and instructions as files on your page, bought by students and by people who sew at home.
Your page on the first day
This is the something else setup, and it’s what your page starts with. Change any of it where it appears.
- Clients can book from tomorrow onward.
- Moving or canceling is free up to 24 hours before.
- There are 15 minutes clear after every session.
Your working agreement opens with this: Reschedule or cancel up to 24 hours before at no charge; inside 24 hours the session is charged in full.
What gets in the way
Six machines and eight bookings means two people sharing all afternoon.
A garment takes four sessions, and students who miss one fall behind.
Students ask for the pattern you used, and you photocopy it.
Questions sewing teachers ask
Do I need my own sewing machine for a class?
Not if the class provides them. Say in the class line whether machines and fabric are included.
How long does it take to learn to sew a garment?
A simple garment in four to six sessions. A course on set dates keeps the group moving together.
Can I sell sewing patterns as downloads?
Yes, as a file on your page, at a fixed price or pay what you want.
What it doesn’t do for you
There’s no fabric shop, no machine hire booking and no pattern printing. Students print patterns at home.
