Online booking

People book the right machine place

A student picks the Tuesday evening class, claims one machine and watches the seats left fall. The last machine closes that class online.

One shared timetable

The whole course sits on one timetable

Each class, its instructor and every claimed machine share one schedule, so a six-week course and an open studio hour never want the same bench.

Built for you

Built for every kind of sewing & dressmaking business

Beginner sewing

First-timers who have never wound a bobbin, two of whom need the machine threaded for them. Cap it at the machines you can set up beforehand.

Dressmaking courses

One garment across six weeks. A weekly recurring booking keeps the same students on the same evening, from the first muslin to the final fitting.

Pattern cutting

Laying out a pattern wants table space, not a machine. Cap the class at the layouts your cutting table honestly takes side by side.

Alteration workshops

Everyone arrives with a garment that nearly fits. One machine each, a short session, and the seats on the page match the seats in the studio.

Machine introductions

An hour on threading, tension and sewing a straight seam. One student per machine, with booking closing on the last free one.

Private groups

A birthday group or an office team takes the studio for an afternoon. Estimate the session, then hold every machine under one booking.

School-holiday sewing

A March-break week of teenagers making something they will wear. Dated sessions, capped at the machines, with a reminder the day before.

Open studio sessions

Regulars come in with their own project and take a machine for two hours. Those seats count down exactly as a taught class does.

Dressmaking: built for winter workshops.

You set capacity to the machines you can thread and keep running. A full class stops selling seats rather than crowding the room.

  • Options, with Pro

    Run a single evening workshop, a weekly seat for a regular and a whole winter course as a recurring booking, side by side on one schedule. An estimate covers a private group that wants the studio to itself.

Schedule

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

Machines ready before the coats come off

The day shows each class, the instructor on it, how many machines are still open, and which seats have already been paid for.

  • The cap is already countedConfirmed seats have come off the machine count, so nobody is counting benches while the first students are stamping snow off their boots.
  • The right tutor is on itHours and taught classes decide who can be on, so a Tuesday evening never opens for booking with no instructor free to run it.
  • Regulars are already thereA recurring booking carries the same students into every remaining week of the course, so the roster is never typed out a second time.

When the machines run out, so does booking

Students see the real number of machine seats left. Once that reaches zero, the class takes no further bookings online.

  • One public numberEveryone sees the same count, including the pair of seats one student took together for herself and a friend inside a single booking.
  • No hopeful extra placeFull stays full. Nobody doubles up on a bench, and no line forms behind the one serger everybody wants near the end of the evening.
  • Quieter times stay visibleThe quiet Tuesday sits beside the sold-out Saturday, so a student shut out of one week can see the evening that still has machines open.

Payment rides with the machine seat

With Pro the card is charged as they book. On Free, cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand. The seat shows as paid either way.

  • Paid when the place is chosenOn Pro the card is charged as the machine seat is claimed, so the class roster and the money arrive as one thing rather than two separate jobs.
  • Desk payments still countA student who pays cash on the way in is recorded by hand on Free, and their seat reads as paid beside every one settled online.
  • Private work gets an estimateItemise instructor time, the machines, the patterns and the cutting table for a private group. What they accept stays attached to the booking.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your sewing & dressmaking business.

Online booking

A student chooses the class, takes one machine seat and pays now or later. The machines still open on your public page drop by one immediately.

Scheduling

Classes, instructors and claimed machines share one schedule, so a full Saturday and a quiet Tuesday evening are both clear without asking anyone.

Capacity that holds

Set the class to the machines you can genuinely thread. Confirmed seats take that number down, and the last machine closes booking outright.

Email reminders

Switch on a confirmation and a reminder ahead of class so every student has the time and the fabric list, with nobody phoned the night before.

Customers

One record per student carries the classes they have taken, the payments you collected, and the project they had on the go when they last came in.

Estimates

Build an estimate for a private group covering instructor time, machines, patterns and cutting-table space. They accept it online by typing their name.

Team

Set each instructor’s real hours and the classes they can teach, so an evening only opens for booking when both instructor and machines are free.

Payments

Record cash and bank transfer by hand on Free, or charge the whole class fee to a card as the machine seat is claimed with Pro. The seat reads as paid.

Common questions.

Yes. You set the capacity, each confirmed seat counts against it, and booking closes on the last machine instead of one hopeful seat past it.

Yes. A single booking can take more than one machine seat, and each of those seats comes off the same capacity, so the public count stays true.

Yes. A weekly or monthly recurring booking ends never, ends on a date, or ends after a chosen number of sessions, and it sits on the Free plan.

The machine seat returns to the count, so the class shows one more open bench and the next person to look sees the corrected number.

Yes. Enable the confirmation and the reminder and every student receives the time and the practical details. Both stay off until you enable them.

On 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.
