Are Open Studio Sessions open to beginners?
Absolutely! These sessions are for personal projects, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a total beginner or more experienced sewer. Plus, having varying degrees of experience helps us form a supportive, encouraging, creative environment for one another.
Pricing
Our Open Studio Wednesday Evening Sessions cost £25 for a three hour session. If that does not feel manageable for you we also run on a three-tiered community pricing system: £12, £20 and £25. Our pricing is run on an honesty policy, so please be true to your financial situation when booking in. If you purchase a space at tier 1 pricing when you can afford tier 3 pricing it can affect our ability to offer flexible pricing.
Tier 1: £12 - Use the code TIERONE at checkout
Students/Unemployed Individuals - those who have very little expendable income and may be additionally relying on financial/non-financial support such as government assistance, student loans or voluntary assistance for basic needs.
Tier 2: £20 - Use the code TIERTWO at checkout
Under Employed/Lower Income Individuals - those who have some financial income from employment or other forms of income but rarely afford items outside of basic needs.
Tier 3: £25 - no code needed at checkout
Employed/Middle Income/Higher Income Individuals - those who have financial support from stable employment or other forms of regular income. Are financially stable enough to have expendable income and frequent purchases outside of their basic needs.
If you book in for a session but can no longer attend, please let us know via lydia@mademywardrobe.com and we can open up your slot for someone else to book in. Unfortunately, we can not offer refunds or swaps on Open Studio sessions as it affects our capacity to offer community pricing.
