Yes. You will have assignments to work on at home throughout the course, so expect to spend 1-2 hours on homework each week.

Made Rittenhouse is open at 10 a.m. every day for staff, students, and members. New and returning students should arrive no more than 15 minutes before their class starts. 

If you’d like to see the space or get to know our community, please schedule a tour.

We invite parents, guardians, and friends to come in to say hello and chat with our staff. We kindly ask that anyone not participating in the class wait outside of Made at a location of their choice until the class ends. Made Institute’s Rittenhouse location is conveniently near many cafes, shops, and the famous Rittenhouse Square, offering you plenty of options to pass the time.

Currently, open studio access is only available to our studio members and students enrolled in the Fashion Certificate Program. Learn more about our Fashion Certificate Program or how to become a member.

If you cancel your order by the original registration deadline, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel after this deadline but before the first class begins, you will receive a 50% refund. However, no refund will be provided for cancellations on or after the first day of class.

If you have completed and passed an in-person Patternmaking 1, 2, or Draping course at Made Rittenhouse, you can apply the course credit towards the Fashion Certificate Program. You won’t need to retake the class, and the cost will be deducted from your first tuition payment

If you know how to thread and wind a bobbin on an industrial machine, understand grain lines and seam allowances, and can sew plain seams, we recommend becoming a member or enrolling in our Patternmaking 2 courses or workshops. As a member, you can work on your personal projects in the studio throughout the week, refamiliarize yourself with the machines, or enhance and diversify your skills with our other course offerings.
