Tuition is due by the 1st of each month. All accounts that sign up online are automatically set up for e-payment and you are authorizing Fabric to Fashion Sewing School to use the account information for all of your account billing. If your card cannot be run and is not updated by the 10th of the month, a $10 late fee will be charged and enforced on all accounts past due. Late notices will be sent via email. Tuition is not pro-rated for absences or studio closures. Some months have extra classes and some have less. We keep the rate consistent.
December is the one exception. That is pro-rated for holiday closure. We do not pro-rate for Spring Break as we use those funds for the end of the year fashion show instead of charging extra fees! Students are encouraged to attend make up classes for their absences.

After you are enrolled in a class, you will be able to use the Parent Portal. You will create a Parent Portal account by entering the email address and portal password that you provided at registration time. If it is your first time visiting your portal and do not have or do not remember your password, click Forgot your password or need to get started? A password will be sent to the email address you have on file with us. Use that to log in to your account. From there you can change your password–just make sure it has a minimum of 8 characters, 1 of which must be a number.

No, everything is provided! Sewing machine, thread, fabric, zippers, elastic and all tools are ready for your student to use

This is an ongoing class. Each class is 1.5 hours (90 mins).

Fabric to Fashion Sewing School provides a dedicated sewing machine for use at the studio. When you’re ready to buy your own sewing machine, we can provide a list of recommendations so you don’t lose your mind down the amazon rabbit hole choosing a machine out of hundreds :)

Absolutely. Sewing is a learned skill. It can be as easy as they want it to be or as hard as they want it to be! We start with baby steps to make them comfortable with everything. Then they can choose at what pace they prefer to work and what level projects they want to explore.

All new students, regardless of ability level, start by taking the same 4 classes (or one month). We do this to make sure all of our students learn strong fundamentals so they don't have to backtrack later. They almost always learn a few new skills during the first 4 classes as we cover a lot! Our instructors are quick to recommend students for more advanced projects as they progress through our curriculum.

If you are a brand new student you will start at the beginning of the month with other new students. We do this to make sure you new student learns all the proper safety and feels confident using the sewing machine. Scroll up the page to find all our new student start dates on a calendar.

Once your registered, the class goes month to month. To cancel, notify us by the 20th the month before you want to withdrawal.

Unfortunately, we cannot bring outside machines into class for a variety of reason. There are two types of sewing machines: computerized and mechanical. Our curriculum is designed with a computerized machine in mind. Each machine has a slightly different method for techniques such as buttonholes or backstitching. We teach our students on computerized sewing machines which we think is easiest for beginners. Ages 8-9 are a bit more hesitant about trying out their skills on their home machine if its different, but usually by age 10 they start to understand all sewing machines work similarly!
Also, if you've had a machine for over a year or its a hand me down it often needs to be serviced (just like a car sitting around). We can recommend a local spot if you wish to service your machine :)
