Registration Forms are sent when students sign up for their classes. This will give ample time to complete them prior to first class.
Tuition is based on six (6) hours of instruction. When you enroll, you register your child/self for a session of classes. Your payment(s) secure(s) this spot. If you should decide to drop the class for any reason before completion, a Withdrawal Form is requested to be completed.

CLASS OBSERVATIONS
Parents/non-students are discouraged from sitting and watching their children/others sew. The sewing and cutting areas are off limits to non-students during class. Roaming around these areas during class disturbs the other students and doesn’t allow them to focus on the task at hand.
Eating and drinking are not permitted in classroom during studio hours. Bottled or closed container of water is allowed to be kept in a designated area away from cutting table and/or sewing machines.
We make every effort to teach and enforce safety, caution and respect for others while using sewing machines and sewing tools.
Students should arrive no earlier than 5 minutes prior to their scheduled class times. Students should arrive with all their supplies and ready to begin sewing. We do not keep extra supplies on hand. At the end of class, parents are expected to pick up their child/children promptly. We will not be responsible for students once their class is dismissed. However, parents are expected to come to the door when picking them up. We are not comfortable with children leaving by themselves. If someone other than yourself is to pick up your child/children, their names must be on registration forms, and/or we must be notified in advance. A valid driver's license or other form of identification may be requested. Your child's/children's safety is of the utmost importance to us, and we want to make this sewing experience a pleasant one!!
The property is monitored by surveillance/security cameras at all times. No weapons of any kind will be allowed on property.
If you have any questions, please contact Ellen Vermillion-Martinez at ellen@hemsandstitches.com or 703-915-9753.
