People book the right machine place

Someone picks the Saturday beginners class, takes a machine place and watches the count drop. When the last machine goes, the class closes itself.

One shared timetable

See which machines are still free

Every class, the tutor on it and each booked machine sit on one timetable, so a six-week course and a one-off workshop never land on the same bench.

Built for you

Built for every kind of sewing & dressmaking business

Beginner sewing

A first class where nobody has threaded a machine before. Cap it at the machines you can set up, so every beginner starts on a working one.

Dressmaking courses

Six weeks on one garment. Book it as a weekly standing place, so the same eight people hold the same Saturday morning the whole way through.

Pattern cutting

Pattern layout wants bench space, not a machine. Cap the class at the number of layouts your cutting table honestly takes at once.

Alteration workshops

People arrive with a garment that nearly fits already. Small class, one machine each, and the number on the page matches the number in the room.

Machine introductions

An hour on threading, tension and a straight seam. One student per machine, and booking shuts the moment the last one is spoken for.

Private groups

A birthday group or a work shout takes the whole studio for an afternoon. Quote the session, then hold every machine under the one booking.

School-holiday sewing

January weeks for teenagers making something they will actually wear. Dated sessions, capped at the machines, with a reminder the day before.

Open studio sessions

Regulars bring their own project and use a machine for two hours. The places are counted exactly the way a taught class is counted.

Dressmaking: built for weekend workshops.

You set the number of machines. The class stops there, so nobody turns up to a full room and waits for a bench to come free.

  • Options, with Pro

    Run one-off Saturday classes, a weekly place for a regular and a six-week dressmaking course as a standing booking, all on one timetable. A quote covers a private group booking the whole studio.

Which machines are spoken for, and when

The beginners night at eight of eight, the garment course mid-run and the overlocker night still two short all read off one view, so you can see where the bench is idle before the week starts.

Instant booking

One machine left, and the page says so

Places are set to the machines that class uses, and the count drops as bookings land. The eighth booking closes the night, so nobody arrives to share a machine and finish nothing.

Get paid

Fabric packs paid for at booking

The class fee is charged as the place is taken, so pattern and calico packs are bought against money already in. A private group course goes out as an itemised quote instead.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for sewing & dressmaking businesses

Thread the machines before they arrive

The day lists each class, who is teaching it, how many machines are still free and which places have already been paid for.

  • The cap is already countedEvery confirmed place has come off the machine count, so nobody is walking the room at ten to nine working out whether there is a spare bench.
  • The right tutor is on itWorking hours and taught classes decide who can be on, so a beginners morning never opens for booking when the only person who teaches it is away.
  • Regulars are already thereA weekly standing place puts the same eight people on the same morning for the whole six weeks, without the list being typed out again each time.

Every machine taken, and no more

Customers see the real number of machine places left. When the last one goes, the class stops taking bookings online.

  • One public numberEveryone looking at the class sees the same count, including the two places a pair took together inside a single booking.
  • No hopeful extra placeA full class stays full. There is no ninth person sharing a bench, and nobody standing behind a friend waiting for a turn on the overlocker.
  • Quieter times stay visibleThe thin Tuesday sits beside the booked-out Saturday, so a maker who cannot get in this weekend can see exactly where they can.

The six-week fee, paid up front

Take the fee by card as they book with Pro, or write cash and bank transfer down by hand on Free. Either way the paid status sits on the place.

  • Paid when the place is chosenWith Pro the card is taken as the machine place is claimed, so the class list and the money turn up as one thing rather than two jobs.
  • Desk payments still countSomeone who hands over cash at the door is recorded by hand on Free, and their place reads as paid alongside everyone who paid online.
  • Private work gets a quoteItemise a private group: tutor time, the machines, patterns and the cutting table. Once they accept, the agreed amount stays with the booking.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your sewing & dressmaking business.

Online booking

Someone picks a class, takes one machine place and either pays or books to pay later. The machines left on the page drop by one straight away.

Scheduling

Every class, its tutor and each booked machine place sit on one timetable, so a chock-full Saturday and a thin Tuesday are both obvious at a glance.

Capacity that holds

Set the class to the machines you can actually thread. Confirmed places count against that number and booking shuts at the last one, never one over.

Email reminders

Switch on a confirmation and a reminder before the class, carrying the time and what to bring, so nobody arrives with no fabric and no pattern.

Customers

Each maker keeps one record: the classes they have sat, what they have paid, and the garment they were partway through when they last came in.

Estimates

Build a quote for a private group covering tutor time, machine use, patterns and cutting-table space, sent as a link they accept by typing their name.

Team

Give every tutor real working hours and the classes they can teach, so a Saturday morning only opens for booking when someone is there to run it.

Payments

Record cash or a bank transfer by hand on Free, or take the full class fee by card at the moment of booking with Pro. Paid status sits on the place.

Common questions.

Yes. Set the capacity to the machines you can thread and staff. Every confirmed place counts against it, and booking closes on the last machine rather than one past it.

Yes. One booking can take more than one machine place, and each of those places counts against the same capacity, so the number left on the page stays honest.

Yes. Set a weekly or monthly standing booking that ends never, ends on a date, or ends after a chosen number of sessions. Standing bookings are on the Free plan.

The place goes back to the machine count, so the class shows one more free bench and the next person booking sees the real number.

Yes. Switch on the confirmation and the reminder, and each person gets the time and the practical details by email. Both ship switched off until you turn them on.

With Pro, they pay the full class fee by card as they book. On Free, you record cash and bank transfer by hand against the same booking.
