Covid-19 Safe Working Practices

 ​The following safe working practices have been produced following the latest UK Government guidance for working during the Covid-19 outbreak and will be reviewed on a regular basis and updated as necessary following any changes in guidance provided.

Consultations and Fittings  I am currently unable to carry out face to face fittings
  1. ​I will open all doors upon arrival to avoid unnecessary touching of surfaces. I will also ask customers to use hand sanitizer upon entry to the studio.
  2. I will be wearing a face covering and will maintain social distancing as much as possible. Where closer contact is necessary, I will keep it to a minimum and will sanitize my own hands before and afterwards.
  3. Customers will need to bring their own face covering a wear it whilst fittings are taking place.
  4. Due to lack of space in my studio, I am allowing a maximum of two people in for fittings. 
  5. If you experience any COVID symptoms - a new continuous cough, a high temperature or a loss of, or change in, normal taste or smell - I will need to be informed and we will have to reschedule the appointment.
  6. I will need consent to pass on your details to the NHS test and trace service for up to 21 days after an appointment.

Alterations
  1. Alterations, such as hem shortening, zip replacement and mending, can still be sent to me via post at the address provided on my website. Details of requirements would need to be provided via email or phone prior to postage to ensure a fitting is not required.

Copy an Existing Garment
  1. Details of requirements would need to be provided via email or phone prior to postage to ensure a fitting is not required.


Sewing Tuition​
  1. All teaching is still currently being provided via video link due to the difficulty in maintaining social distancing rules.
