Sewing teachers help people learn to use a machine, make their own clothes and mend what they have. They run beginner courses over several weeks, one-day dressmaking workshops, private lessons and sometimes children's holiday classes, often in a small studio with a few machines. Many also sell fabric, patterns and kits so students can finish projects at home. A payments app that handles course fees, workshop places and kit sales can win sewing teachers, and every student who pays them sees your app.

Fill workshops with paid places
A link for each workshop date means a place is only held once it is paid, so the teacher is not left with empty machines on the day.

Sell kits and vouchers
Links for kits and gift vouchers let the teacher sell to students and their friends and family between classes, without handling cash.
Grow through craft businesses
Sewing teachers work alongside fabric shops, tailors and other craft teachers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each teacher can bring more of them onto it.
