Question 1

Can I bring my own sewing machine?

Accepted Answer

We use 'Brother' LX25 sewing machines (top loading bobbin) which are regularly serviced and tested. The knowledge and techniques taught are suitable for all sewing machine models. If you'd like to still use your own sewing machine, you must contact us in advance of the class to arrange.

Question 2

Can I bring food & drinks in?

Accepted Answer

There are no food and drinks allowed into Fabrications shop and studio. You are welcome to bring a re sealable drinks bottle and there will be a planned lunch break for all full day classes. Bring your own packed lunch or Broadway Market has a wealth of cafe's and food stalls to choose from.

Question 3

What if I am late?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive promptly for class, ideally 5 mins before, we have a lot of content to work through. If you are experiencing transport issues please contact us on 020 7275 8043  or 07958 424 808 . If you just turn up late, you may be refused entry, it's diruptive and unfair on the rest of the group.
