FAQ's

Do you offer gift cards?

We do offer gift cards in any denomination. You can purchase those here.

Do you offer a refund for classes if I am sick?

If you are sick, please stay home and get better. We have a strict 24 hour rescheduling policy for illness. We will offer a one-time reschedule for a class missed due to illness as long as we are notified 24 hours in advance of the class start time. This is for adult classes only and does not apply to kids classes, camps, or adult courses. Our classes fill up quickly and last minute scheduling changes result in a loss for our business and our team. Thank you for understanding.

What is your return policy?

We do not accept returns on cut fabrics/trim/interfacing. If there is a defect or cutting issue with your fabric purchase, please let us know as soon as possible so we can help remedy the situation. We do not accept returns on patterns. Unopened notions can be returned within 14 days of purchase with original receipt. If they are defective, sewing machines can be exchanged for a replacement. If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, please bring it to our attention—we want you to feel satisfied with your purchases at SewBo.

Can I reschedule my class if I can't make it?

Our cancellation policy differs based on the class you have registered for and you can view your specific class here. Our policies are clearly stated in all class descriptions and registration emails.

Should I bring my own machine to class?

Please do not bring your machine to any of our beginning sewing class (101, 201, 301). It is much easier for our teachers to instruct using our shop machines.

If you need help learning your personal machine, you may sign up for the Get to Know Your Sewing Machine class.

We have shop sewing machines that you are welcome to use during our group classes. If you are proficient with your own sewing machine and would like to bring your personal machine to our group classes (other than our 101, 201, 301), you are welcome to bring it to use during class.

What if I know I'm going to miss one class out of a series?

We have monthly sign-ups for kids classes to allow families the ultimate flexibility with extracurricular activities. We also do not schedule class series' over holiday weekends.

While do not offer make-up classes for any series class missed, you or your child are welcome to join an upcoming Open Sew session to make up any missed work from a previous class.

If you know you or your child will be out of town you might want to wait until the next month to take a class series.

Why do you charge a cancellation fee?

We charge cancellation fees for our kids classes and camps. Cancellations require additional administrative work coordinating cancellations and refilling classes. This also helps us recoup fees incurred on our end during the registration and re-registration process.
