WELCOME BACK TO SEWTOPIA EVENTS & LOCAL CLASSES
Your health and safety are our top priorities. The guidelines below support a safe and comfortable experience for everyone. These requirements apply to all participants—attendees, instructors, staff, contractors, vendors, and partners.
Vaccination
We encourage participants to stay up to date with CDC-recommended COVID-19 vaccines to reduce risk of severe illness.
Face Coverings
Masking requirements may vary by event, location, and venue rules. If you become unwell or develop symptoms while on site, please wear a face covering and notify staff if you need assistance.
Sanitization & Hygiene
We work with each venue to maintain robust cleaning standards. Please practice good hand hygiene and use provided sanitizer stations.
DAILY HEALTH MONITORING
Before arriving each day, please self-monitor for symptoms. If you feel unwell, develop symptoms of a communicable illness, or have a recent high-risk exposure, please do not attend and follow the guidance of your healthcare provider.
