• Additional studio time for classes is charged at $30/hour.
• If you have finished the class and would like to do a revision, it would be $30/hour.

We strive to start & end all classes on time. Please arrive 5 minutes early if possible. If you are over 30 minutes late, you will need to reschedule as you will miss a significant portion of the class, and catching you up won’t be fair to the other students. We seek your understanding on this.

Our team will advise you and put you on our waiting list to keep you posted on any updates.

The individual class descriptions for the class that you have booked will state if there are any materials required. If nothing is stated, then you don’t have to bring any!

Our studio is outfitted with all tools and sewing machines for use during class and studio time. If you prefer to work on your own machine, do remember to bring your dedicated footers along!

• Introductory and Accessories classes: All materials provided.
• Fashion Sewing Only and Drafting & Sewing classes: Bring your own fabrics and trims. Refer to individual class descriptions on the website.
• WSQ-Certified classes: Materials are not needed on the first day and you will be briefed during class on what to bring

Our class size starts at a minimum of 3 pax to a maximum of 10 pax. Our classes are small so that our trainers can provide more personal coaching time, essential in any hands-on creative classes!

No prior experience? Not to worry! If this is your first time with us, we have 2 options we highly recommend

1. Starter Bundle
   It is a 2 session (2 hour/ session) class that covers basic sewing and sewing operation skills. This course is perfect for first-timers to have a feel of our environment as well as experience how our classes are conducted. At the end of the lesson, you will be bringing home a pouch made from scratch by you!
2. WSQ Fashion & Fabrics (Basic Top & Skirt) or WSQ Fashion & Fabrics (Basic Dress with Lining) class
   These foundation courses cover the process of making a garment from the start to the end, where you will pick up the skills of drafting, cutting, and sewing your very own garments in your own sizes. Also, the WSQ courses are Skillsfuture Credit claimable.

We offer a wide range of courses for you to choose from and it is truly up to your preference.

Our Sewing Only (Fashion/ Accessories) courses are for those who want to practice and improve their sewing. Choose from our wide selection of designs and learn various techniques like installing a concealed zipper, bias tape, pockets, etc, and sew up a stylish new outfit to wear every day. Highly recommended for beginners!

If you are interested in learning to relay your measurements onto patterns, our Drafting & Sewing classes or WSQ-certified classes would suit those who are ready to dive right in! From learning how to make your own Master Block to learning how to customise your garment to suit your style & preference, we welcome all students to embark on this journey to fashion freedom!

Yes, we laud individual creativity & spontaneity! Our WSQ-certified classes allow for some design variations; and if you don’t find a design that you fancy, just book a private workshop with us! We can help you realise and complete your fashion projects/ portfolio or design ideas. This process starts with a free consultation at our studio about your idea – this helps us both to set realistic targets for the project and coordinate our schedules. Small group lessons are also available!

You can find our list of Skillsfuture/ WSQ-certified classes here.
