In the Premium subscription you will have access to all of our Tutorials and also our Workshops & Masterclasses. Our Workshops are detailed guided sewalongs for a particular pattern, focusing on construction and sewing techniques. Each Workshop comes with a free PDF pattern. Masterclasses are a deep dive into a particular garment or technique. They are in-depth and come with lots of downloadable materials, patterns & video guides.

How long do I have to sign up to Stitch School for?
There is a minimum sign up period of three months for any Stitch School subscription. You do not pay this three month cost up front, but your subscription will continue for a three month minimum.
If you cancel your subscription within the first three months, your subscription will remain active and you will be charged until the end of your third month. You will not be charged in your fourth month and your access to Stitch School will then end.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your subscription by heading to the ‘Stitch School Subscription’ area in ‘My Account’. Click on the ‘Cancel Subscription’ button to cancel your subscription.
As Stitch School has a minimum three month subscription term, this button will only appear after your third renewal order has been processed.
Once you’ve cancelled your subscription you will still have access to Stitch School until the date of what would have been your next renewal payment, or until the end of your three month period if you have only just joined Stitch School.
If you have any queries about cancelling your subscription then please get in touch with us on info@sewoverit.com and we'll be able to help.
