🎉 🎉 🎉 Especially to our new members🎉 🎉 🎉
The following does not apply to items made from Amazon, etc.
BACK ORDERS
We don't do them. Rarely, if a supplier does not fulfill our order for an item (happens with thread buys on SMN now and then), we will issue a refund for the item we could not supply to you.
COMBINING ORDERS
#1 reason to combine orders: Using two different coupon codes.
Second most popular reason: You forgot to order something.
Third most popular reason: You just checked out and then discovered we have another deal going on that you want to take advantage of.
Our software only allows one coupon code per order.
For any of the types of reasons stated above, you may place a second order and use any appropriate codes on the subsequent orders so you will be able to take advantage of any current discounts for other products.
📌 Working within the constraints of the software, shipping is charged by the best guess the software can make. When orders are combined, sometimes that causes shipping to also go up - according to increase in package size or weight, obviously. Please keep that in mind.
📌 IMPORTANT: You MUST place any orders you would like to have us consider to combine into one package within ONE HOUR of each other. NO EXCEPTIONS!
The reason for this: We have a policy, especially important during crazy busy sales, etc, to ALWAYS wait until an order is at least one hour old before our team packs it. This gives YOU time to take advantage of multiple sales, promotions, etc.
Colorado orders: Your order will be taxed at our location in Douglas County. If you do not agree with this, please do not order
COUPON CODE USAGE❗️ ❗️❗️ Confused ❓ ❓ ❓
We may offer different discounts for different groups of people... or on different product lines, events, or downloads at the same time.
Coupon Codes MUST be entered at the time of purchase - NO EXCEPTONS. Be sure to review your order and verify your order total is correct before making payment.
On that note, we STRONGLY DISCOURAGE the use of Paypal's "One Click" / "Fast Checkout" option! Many customers seem to miss entering their coupon codes because of this and it makes a terrible mess to correct!!!
Our software only allows one coupon code per order. See "Combining Orders" for a way to always "beat the system" 😁
GIFT CARDS
The system will allow you to use more than one gift card on an order.
Gift cards are valid for five years. No cash refunds on gift cards.
ITEM DESCRIPTIONS
Please read them!
RETURNS
All sales final on all goods.
ROD PRICING at shop.sewmuchnicer
Some rods may already be at a special price and not eligible for VIP discounts, sales, etc. Please read the descriptions for the items carefully.
SHIPPING OVERAGES
Our software does the best guess it can - but different items need bigger boxes, and combining also may result in over paying. Shipping overages of $3 or more will be credited back to your account by a gift card to be used on future orders. These are processed about once a week. Watch your email for it. No refunds are given on shipping.
THREAD
SMN never stocks thread. Ever. The only time orders are accepted for thread are during our "buys". Be sure to get on our email list and watch your emails for these special events.

Hey!
THANK YOU for taking some time to be with us!
I bet you might be accustomed to just grabbing PDF patterns and then "toughing it out" when you sew, riiiiight?
Well, it's different here. Big time.
Everything you could possibly be looking for is on the home page of Sewing.School . Can't find something, jump on Telegram and ask in the public channel. Someone will come running to help.
There are a few things the tribe of Rock Star Sew-Land SHINE at:
1. We can do anything. Forget that "beginner, intermediate, expert" jargon. I believe that any project can be done with craftsmanship if the right tools are being used for the job -and- the sewist can kick back, relax, and just focus on one seam at a time.
One. Seam. At a time. <--- Who can't do that?
That is all a whole lot easier to accomplish if she can SEE it done first. We're not a PDF site - we're a teaching/community site.
2. Our projects are broken down into bite size pieces. It's easy to take in the information that you need to see... and it's equally simple to skip over a lesson that you may not need to see. This is why we feel we do a great job at teaching for all skill levels. We at least try to do our best for you! ❤️
3. Basics - many videos are available that are extra helpful to newbies.
4. If you stumble, we have amazing help and support! From our Telegram project & chat channels, to our Amazing VIP Membership , and to our well - staffed support desk... nobody can say there isn't help for them. The trick? Reach out before you get frustrated! We want everyone to enjoy your time with us.
5. While we all come together because of sewing, in our tribe, "Sewing is just the excuse that brings us all together." If you give this group a chance, you're likely to meet some mighty amazing people that will become lifetime friends. We truly are here for each other.
6. Relax! Enjoy! There's no judgments. Just support. Doesn't matter your age, experience, skill level... we think it's great you're sewing!
So, if this is your first foray into trying out one of our projects, we hope you will take advantage of the video portions, too! You'll find we have a great time - and there's always room for one more to enjoy the community we have going on while you achieve new levels of enjoyment and craftsmanship in your finished project.
Thanks for looking at this - I hope we meet in our live sessions!
-Sally and her Rock Star Team
Updated September 2022
Sally got Shingles in fall of 2018. She didn't get a rash, so it went misdiagnosed for about 6 months, causing severe nerve damage in her face.
While it has come and gone a few times, the recurring pain from the damaged nerve in her face this year has been severe and caused most days for her to have too much pain to talk well enough to record videos or go live.
She was doing pretty good for about 5 months - so she lined up fun get togethers on the calendar, and then got clobbered pretty bad in July. As this is being written in September, things have not been good for Sally to work with live groups.
One of the reasons she prefers to talk on zoom - face to face - is so that the other person can see why she may be talking slowly or may all of a sudden not be able to talk at all. If zoom doesn't go up on a given day, it usually means Sally is having a rough day.
A rough day means that sometimes she can't move without the pain being triggered. Her family has taken the dogs out for her, picked up a few groceries, etc when things are extra bad.
So one more support avenue was to add the "Chat with Us" feature on this site. You'll find a button on the bottom right of the page. These messages go straight to Sally's phone (as well as her computer). If she's able and available, she answers your messages immediately.
So until things turn around, we are offering the Class Handouts, Mastery Workshops and the Full Pattern & Tutorial PDFs (after they make it through copyright).
If you bought any bundles that contained other items (like Sew A Longs), you will still get access when they happen or you can reach out to us on the "Chat with Us" link here on this page and we'll make it right with you.
Are you a VIP?
Lucky you! This item is included in our VIP plans.
If you're not, we'd love to have you join our community!
VIP Pricing (Effective 2022):
Due to the scamdemic and many of our vendors raising their pricing to us (some expenses have doubled), we were forced into making minor changes. If you have a problem with this, please just use our "Chat with Us" feature and we'll try make it right with you.
