One shared timetable

One row per machine, week by week

Every class, its tutor and each claimed machine sit on the one timetable, so a term course and an evening workshop never chase 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 will need the machine threaded for them. Cap it at what you can set up in advance.

Dressmaking courses

One garment over six weeks. A weekly standing booking holds the same learners on the same night, from the first toile to the last fitting.

Pattern cutting

Laying a pattern out wants table space, not a machine. Cap the class at the layouts the cutting table takes without anyone shuffling paper.

Alteration workshops

Everyone brings a garment that nearly fits. One machine each, a short evening, and the number on the page is the number in the room.

Machine introductions

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

Private groups

A hen group or a work team takes the room for an afternoon. Quote the session first, then hold every machine under a single booking.

School-holiday sewing

A midterm week of teenagers making something they will actually wear. Dated sessions, capped at the machines, with a reminder the night before.

Open studio sessions

Regulars come in with their own project and take a machine for two hours. Those places count down the same way a taught class does.

Dressmaking: built for term classes.

You set the cap to the machines you can thread and keep running. A full night stops selling places instead of overfilling the room.

  • Options, with Pro

    A single evening workshop, a weekly place for a regular and a full term course as a standing booking all live on one timetable. A quote covers a community group looking to take the whole room.

A private course for a small group, priced before it starts.

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

The room is set before the first stitch

The night shows each class, the tutor on it, how many machines are still free, and which places have already been paid for.

  • The cap is already countedConfirmed places have come off the machine count, so nobody is counting benches at five to seven while the first learners are hanging up coats.
  • The right tutor is on itHours and taught classes decide who can be on, so a Wednesday night never opens for booking with nobody rostered to take it.
  • Regulars are already thereA standing booking carries the same learners into every remaining night of the term course, so the list is never written out a second time.

Fill the benches, then stop

Learners see the real number of machine places left. Once that reaches nothing, the class takes no more bookings online.

  • One public numberEverybody sees the same count, including the pair of places one learner 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 queue forms behind the one overlocker everybody wants near the end of the night.
  • Quieter times stay visibleThe quiet Monday sits beside the full Wednesday, so a learner shut out of one night can see the one that still has machines to spare.

Fees stay with the maker’s place

On Pro the card is taken as they book. On Free, cash and bank transfer are written down by hand. The place shows as paid either way.

  • Paid when the place is chosenWith Pro the card is taken as the machine place is claimed, so the class list and the money arrive as one thing rather than two separate jobs.
  • Desk payments still countA learner who pays cash on the way in is recorded by hand on Free, and the place reads as paid beside every one settled online.
  • Private work gets a quoteItemise tutor time, the machines, the patterns and the cutting table for a community 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 learner chooses the class, takes one machine place and pays now or after. The machines left on the public page come down by one immediately.

Scheduling

Classes, tutors and claimed machines sit on one timetable, so a packed Wednesday and a quiet Monday are both clear without asking whoever locked up.

Capacity that holds

The class is capped at the machines you can genuinely run. Confirmed places take that number down, and the last machine closes booking outright.

Email reminders

Turn on a confirmation and a reminder before the class so each learner has the time and the fabric list, without a phone call the night before.

Customers

Each maker holds one record: the classes they have sat, the payments taken from them, and the project they had on the go when they were last in.

Estimates

Put together a quote for a community group covering tutor time, machines, patterns and cutting-table space. They accept online by typing their name.

Team

Set every tutor’s real hours and the classes they are able to take, so a night only opens for booking when both tutor and machines are free.

Payments

Record cash and bank transfer by hand on Free. On Pro the whole class fee goes on a card as the machine place is claimed, and the place reads as paid.

Common questions.

Yes. You set the capacity, each confirmed place counts against it, and booking closes on the last machine rather than one hopeful place past it.

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

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

The machine place goes back into the count, so the class shows one more free bench and the next person looking sees the corrected number.

Yes. Enable the confirmation and the reminder and every learner gets the time and the practical details. Both stay off until you switch 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.
