All classes can be registered and paid for by phone at 250-390-3602 or in person at the shop.
Registration Policies
Payment of the registration fee is required to guarantee your place in any class. Classes are filled on a “first paid, first in” basis.
A minimum of 3 to 4 participants is required for any class to proceed. If the minimum is not met, the class may be rescheduled or cancelled. Registration fees can be applied to a future date, or a refund/store credit will be provided.
Registration fees are non-refundable if the participant cancels within 7 days of the scheduled class.
If a class is cancelled by Serge & Sew for any reason, a refund or store credit will be provided.
Space is limited, and early registration is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Most classes are hands-on and require you to bring a sewing machine in good working order, along with basic sewing tools. Bringing your sewing machine manual and accessories is also recommended.
A list of required supplies and materials will be provided at the time of registration. These are an additional cost, and some pre-class preparation may be required. For multi-day classes, there may be homework between sessions.
Face masks are optional. Public Health no longer requires masks in indoor settings, and wearing one is a personal choice. We kindly ask that everyone respects each other’s preferences.
Please keep our classrooms fragrance-free and set your cell phone to vibrate during class.
