WEEKEND OPEN STUDIO — REGISTRATION

Dear Garment House · 1217 Grandview Avenue, Grandview Heights, OH

Saturdays and Sundays · $50 per person

2026 Open Studio Dates: 10/11 (Sunday), 10/18 (Sunday), 10/25 (Sunday), 12/5 (Saturday), 12/12 (Saturday)

What this session is:

A self-directed studio session for fully independent sewers ages 10 and up. You work on your own project using our professional machines and basic supplies. An instructor is present for machine troubleshooting only — this is not a class and ongoing instruction is not included.

What this session is not:

This is not a beginner class. If you need regular guidance, step-by-step instruction, or consistent instructor support throughout, please enroll in one of our group or private classes instead — where an instructor is fully available for you from start to finish. Registering for Open Studio when you are not yet an independent sewer is not grounds for a refund.

What's included:

✓ Professional sewing machines — Juki, Bernina, Singer, Brother, and others

✓ Basic studio supplies: thread, needles, scissors, cutting mats, irons, markers, rulers and more

✓ A curated selection of pre-loved garments for upcycling (limited selection; availability is not guaranteed)

✓ Fabric scraps for upcycled projects (selection varies by session)

What to bring:

Your project, your pattern, your specific fabrics and notions. Do not rely on studio materials to complete your project. Some additional materials (i.e.: patches, vintage beads) may be available for purchase on-site but are not guaranteed.

Pricing:

✓ $50 flat fee per person, per session

✓ Fee covers up to 3 hours of studio time regardless of actual time used

✓ No partial fees, no pro-rated pricing, no exceptions

Per-Person Booking:
