Beginner: Cozy Crewnecks - Wednesdays in December (4, 11, 18th)
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Based on the success of our cozy jackets workshop, we're excited to present a beginner-friendly version: cozy crewnecks! In this three-evening workshop, we'll make the Merchant and Mills Sidney Sweater, a non-gendered-fit crewneck sweater. Choose between the Merchant and Mills cotton jacquard or 100% cotton twill French terry for the main fabric, and a soft, stretchy ribbing around the neckline, sleeves, and hem.
This workshop includes:
- A digital licence for the pattern
- A printed copy of the pattern to take home with you
- Materials to make one Sidney sweater (fabric, ribbing, thread)
- 9 hours of instruction at The Sewing Club including use of all of our machines
All fabric, supplies, and equipment are provided. You may bring your own sewing machine if you'd like, but please make sure it's in working order before you arrive, and please bring your own bobbin.

Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy
This policy is effective for purchases made on or after April 8th, 2024.
Our workshops are held in small groups and usually sell out far in advance. It can be very difficult to fill a cancelled spot on short notice. In order to ensure we can continue offering small group sewing workshops, the following cancellation policy applies to all workshop purchases.
We understand people get sick, child care cancels, and other emergencies come up. We ask that you please read this policy before booking a workshop, and understand that we must adhere to it. Please be understanding of our limitations as a small, independently run business, and don't ask us to make an exception to our policy.
If you can provide over 48 hours notice:
If you need to cancel your spot and are able to give over 48 hours' notice, you will receive a digital store credit that can be used for a future workshop, to shop online, or to shop in person. Store credits never expire, and must be issued to the email used to book the workshop.
To cancel, contact us.
If you cancel within 48 hours of the start time:
It is very difficult for us to fill workshop spots on short notice. If you cancel within 48 hours or do not show for the workshop, you are not eligible for a store credit, and you are not able to pick up workshop materials.
If you are able to find someone to take your place in the workshop, contact us and we can try to arrange that they take your place. This is not guaranteed, especially if they require any custom pattern adjustments.
To cancel, contact us.
Arriving Late
If you arrive one hour (60 minutes) or more after the scheduled workshop time, that will be considered a no-show, and you will not be able to join the workshop, receive a store credit, or a refund.
Multi-Day Workshops
Partial refunds are not available if you can't finish your workshop. If you can't attend the remaining workshop dates, contact us and we can arrange for you to finish the project during a co-working session or take it home.
