Accessibility Statements

Location Accessibility

At Make it Sew, we want everyone to feel welcome, comfortable, and able to participate in our creative space.

Our studio is located in an older building that was not originally designed with modern accessibility standards in mind. Currently:

There are a few steps required to enter the main studio area.
The only washroom available is located down a full flight of stairs to the basement.

We understand that this layout may create barriers for some members of our community.

Owner Brittany is actively exploring options to make the space more accessible and accommodating for those who are unable to use stairs. Improving accessibility is an important goal for the future of Make it Sew, and we are committed to pursuing modifications as they become possible.

We truly appreciate your understanding as we work within the limitations of an older building while planning for meaningful improvements.

If you have specific accessibility needs or questions before attending a class or event, please reach out to us. We are always happy to discuss how we can best support you.

Web Accessibility

This statement was last updated on February 15, 2026.

We at Make it Sew are working to make our site Make it Sew (https://www.makeitsew.shop/) accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.2 guidelines, and have made the site accessible. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:

Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues
Set the content order of the site’s pages
Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages
Added alternative text to images
Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast
Reduced the use of motion on the site
Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

Requests, issues, and suggestions

If you find an accessibility issue on the site, or if you require further assistance, you are welcome to contact us.
