Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at fittedstitchestn@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We want to share this wonderful trade skill with anyone regardless of age.  Minimum age is 10 but there is no age limit as long as you can run a sewing machine. We hope our classes and workshops can be a mix of generations and genders. 


For most of our classes we will provide all of the supplies.  Our garment construction classes will have required supplies for you to bring based on your preferences.  We have a list of suggested supplies and links on where to get them. 


Having your own sewing machine is not required to take the classes and workshops!  We do recommend getting one though so you can continue your sewing adventures once we are done.  We have confidence you will love it so much you will want to do it forever! 


Certainly!!!!  In fact, we highly recommend that you bring it with you to all classes.  This will help you become familiar with your specific machine and make it an easier transition once you are finished and doing projects on your own. 


We would be happy to help you on this journey and can give you some recommendations based on you sewing needs. 





Class Policies

Fitted Stitches Academy Policies

 We’re so excited to sew with you! To keep our classes fun, safe, and welcoming for everyone, please take a moment to read through our policies. These apply to all group classes, workshops, and private lessons.

🧵 Age & Supervision

Students ages 10–16 must have a parent or guardian remain on the premises during the class. They don’t need to stay in the classroom, but should remain nearby in the building or shop area.

🌈 Everyone is Welcome

Sewing is for everyone! Our classes are open to all genders and backgrounds, and we’re proud to create an inclusive, judgment-free space. Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated.

🤝 Respect & Safety Matter

Our sewing space is full of creativity—and sharp tools! Scissors, pins, and machines require care and focus. We ask all students to treat instructors and classmates with kindness and respect, and to follow safety guidelines at all times. Good manners help us create a fun and safe space to learn!

📅 Refund & Cancellation Policy

We do not offer refunds, but we’re happy to apply your payment as a credit toward a future class or workshop if you give us at least 48 hours’ notice. No-shows or cancellations made less than 48 hours before class will not be eligible for a refund or credit. Please respect our time by giving us fair warning if you can’t make it.

🖼️ Photo Permission & Class Contracts

All students (or a parent/guardian for minors) will be asked to sign a participation contract before class begins. This includes a photo release, allowing us to share pictures of your amazing work on our website and social media. If you’d prefer not to be photographed, just let us know—we completely understand.

🧵 Materials & Supplies

Some classes may require you to bring fabric or specific sewing tools. If materials are needed, they will be listed clearly in your class description. Please make sure to come prepared so you can fully participate and enjoy the project!

🧼 Clean Workspace Courtesy

We ask all students to help us keep the sewing area tidy. Please return tools to their proper place and clean up your workspace before you leave. A clean studio helps everyone have a better experience!

📵 Phone Use During Class

We kindly ask that phones be silenced or used minimally during class to help keep focus on the project. You’re welcome to take photos of your progress—but let’s save texting and scrolling for after class.

🎒 Personal Belongings

Please keep your personal items with you during class. Fitted Stitches Academy is not responsible for lost or misplaced belongings, so double-check your space before you leave!

⏰ Arrive on Time

We start right on schedule and guide everyone through the project step-by-step. Late arrivals can be disruptive and may miss important instruction, so please plan to arrive a few minutes early.

🪡 We Sew Together

To keep things organized, we all work at the same pace during class. If you’re looking for more advanced or personalized instruction, we offer private lessons where you can move at your own speed.
