You will find the price for the course you want to book on the course’s information page. Click here for the children’s courses, and here for the adults courses. Each Crafty Birds course is priced differently depending on the length of the course, and the project you will make. The price you pay reserves you a place at each weekly session, full use of machines and equipment in the studio, plus the kit you need to make the project.
PRICING OPTIONS
There will be two prices to choose from, which will affect the kit you receive. Please ensure you have read below about the Parrot and Peacock price options before booking your place on a course.
This is our lowest cost option. On arrival to session one, you will receive an essential kit. This includes your pattern pieces, thread, a large fabric swatch for practise samples, plus items such as interfacing or fastenings if they are needed for the item you are making. You will bring your own fabric, and will find advice on what fabric to bring on the course information page.
If you’d like to take the hassle out of bringing your own fabric, choose the Peacock option and Crafty Birds will add your fabric to your kit, along with the essentials, for a slightly higher price. You will be sent images of fabrics to choose from after you have booked, and in advance of session 1.

PAYMENT PLANS
We do not provide payment plans through the use of credit provided by lenders such as Klarna, however, we can accept increment payments to help you spread the cost. After you fill in the booking form, you will be emailed requesting payment, with the following options:
£10 non-refundable deposit to secure your place
An amount of your choice between £10 and the full price (£10 of which will be a non-refundable deposit to secure your place)
The full amount, if you wish to
Any balance will be due no later than 2 weeks before the start date of the course. If Crafty Birds does not receive this payment, your place is not confirmed, you will lose your £10 deposit, and be refunded any remaining monies you have paid.
Many people want to learn to sew, but are often held back by the expense of starting a new hobby. At Crafty Birds, all machines and equipment is provided; the sewing machine, overlocker, fabric scissors, chalk, and more! All we ask is that you bring a pot of your own pins, which you can pick up in the supermarket, fabric shop, or Amazon, for as little as £1. So, you can dip your toe into the world of sewing, before committing to buying any equipment to have at home.
Sewing doesn’t mean having to buy new fabric all the time. Reusing unwanted textile items work just as well, and reduce our carbon footprint! Bed sheeting, large sized men’s shirts, or summer maxi dresses can all be cut up and sewn back together to create something new, beautiful, plus with a story behind it, particularly if it came from a keepsake item.
