Open Studio

Do you lack the space, supplies or equipment to sew or cut out your project? If so you can book Open Studio with us! Open Studio is time reserved just for you to use a sewing station in our space.

 During Open Studio, you'll have access to:
- Manual Janome HD500 Sewing Machine
- Janome Magnolia or Elna 264 or White Serger 
- Cutting table
- Scissors, chalk, pins, and other tools
- An iron and ironing board

Open Studio is available to those who already know how to use a sewing machine and sewing tools confidently on their own. If you haven't used a sewing machine, serger or coverstitch machine before, and you want to use one or more of these during your time with us, please book a private lesson first.

Please bring any sewing machine thread, fabric, patterns, elastic, and any other supplies you'll use for your project. You are also welcome to buy supplies from us during your booking.

We may be able to provide you with an opinion or bit of advice during your Open Studio time if we are available. However, if you need more support with your project, please book a private lesson with us instead!

Open Studio is generally available Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays from 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Wednesdays from 1 - 3 p.m. To check on availability or book Open Studio, give us a ring at 236-475-8549 or drop us a line at classes@themakehouse.ca.
