Frequently Asked Questions

How much are lessons?

Beth runs six week blocks which are $160 for the block.  A deposit of $30 is required to secure your spot and then $130 is payable either before you start your first lesson, or during your first lesson.

 

How can I pay?

The $30 deposit is payable to _____(will update soon)__________________

The remaining balance of $130 can either be paid via bank transfer (please make sure you deposit it in enough time to be cleared before your first lesson) or with cash during your first lesson.

 

Where are you located?

We’re in North New Brighton, Christchurch.  If you’ve booked a lesson or you’re coming for alterations/dressmaking, Beth will text you the address.

 

Is there parking on-site?

Yes, and there’s more parking available on the street.

 

How much are alterations?

That’s always a hard one to answer because it varies. It mostly depends on how long your garment will take, and how much material is used.  If it’s a simple hemming for jeans, it will probably be only $25 but if your garment requires re-working it might be more.

 

How many students do you have in one class?

We have a maximum of 5 students in any class.

 

Are the classes right for me?

Are the classes fun?

Absolutely! There’s no pressure to perform, no tests etc.  If you prefer an informal, relaxed atmosphere to be able to chat with like-minded people, then you will love Sew It Yourself.
