Online booking

People book the right machine place

A student picks the Thursday evening class, takes one machine and sees the seats left drop. When the last machine goes, the class closes itself.

One shared timetable

Know which benches are still open

Each class, the instructor teaching it and every claimed machine sit on one schedule, so a course and a drop-in session never want the same bench.

Built for you

Built for every kind of sewing & dressmaking business

Beginner sewing

Nobody has wound a bobbin yet, and two students will need the machine threaded for them. Cap it at the machines you can set up in advance.

Dressmaking courses

One garment across six weeks. A weekly recurring booking keeps the same eight students on the same weeknight, from muslin through final fitting.

Pattern cutting

Laying out a pattern needs table space rather than a machine. Cap the class at the layouts your cutting table really holds at one time.

Alteration workshops

Everyone shows up with something that almost fits. One machine each, a short session, and the seats on the page match the seats in the room.

Machine introductions

An hour on threading, tension and sewing a straight seam. One student to a machine, with booking closing as the last one is claimed.

Private groups

A bachelorette party or an office group takes the studio for the afternoon. Estimate it first, then hold every machine under one booking.

School-holiday sewing

A summer-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 bring their own project and take a machine for two hours. Those seats count down exactly the way a taught class does.

Dressmaking: built for weekend classes.

Capacity is the machines you can thread, not a hopeful round number. A full class simply stops selling seats online.

  • Options, with Pro

    Sell a one-off Saturday class, a weekly seat for a regular and a six-week garment course as a recurring booking, all 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

Set up every station before class

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

  • The cap is already countedConfirmed seats have already come off the machine count, so nobody is walking the benches ten minutes before class deciding whether one more fits.
  • The right tutor is on itWorking hours and taught classes decide who can be on, so an evening never opens for booking when the only instructor who teaches it is off.
  • Regulars are already thereA recurring booking carries the same eight students into every remaining week of the course, so nobody types the roster out a second time.

Book to the last machine, then close

Students see the real number of machine seats left. Once that reaches zero, the class stops taking bookings online.

  • One public numberEveryone sees the same count, including the two seats one person took together for herself and a friend inside a single booking.
  • No hopeful extra placeA full class stays full. Nobody doubles up on a bench, and no line forms behind the one serger everybody wants near the end of the session.
  • Quieter times stay visibleThe thin Wednesday sits beside the sold-out Saturday, so a student turned away from one week can see the night that still has machines open.

Tuition sits with the seat

With Pro the card is charged as they book. On Free, cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand. The seat reads 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 together rather than in two separate passes.
  • Desk payments still countA student who pays cash on the way in is recorded by hand on Free, and their seat reads as paid alongside every one settled online.
  • Private work gets an estimateItemise instructor time, the machines, the patterns and the cutting table for a private group. Once accepted, that amount stays with the booking.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your sewing & dressmaking business.

Online booking

A student picks a class, takes one machine seat and either pays now or settles later. The machines left on your public page drop by one right away.

Scheduling

Classes, instructors and claimed machines share one schedule, so a packed Saturday and a thin Wednesday evening are both obvious at a single glance.

Capacity that holds

Set the class to the machines you can genuinely thread. Every confirmed seat takes one off, and the last machine closes booking instead of stretching it.

Email reminders

Turn on a confirmation and a reminder before class so every student has the time and the fabric list, instead of half the room arriving empty-handed.

Customers

One record per student holds the classes they have taken, the payments you collected, and the garment they were partway through when they last came in.

Estimates

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

Team

Give each instructor real working 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 full class fee to a card at the moment of booking with Pro. Paid status stays on the seat.

Common questions.

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

Yes. One booking can take more than one machine seat, and each of those seats comes off the same capacity, so the public number stays accurate.

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

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

Yes. Switch on the confirmation and the reminder and every student gets the time and the practical details. Both ship off until you enable them.

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.
