Here they are - the eagerly anticipated schedule of workshops for September!

We are enjoying a make-over in the shop and classroom over the next few weeks so be sure to come in and say hello to see all our exciting new changes, including pay per hour sewing stations in the fabric shop so you can work on your projects whilst enjoying a scrumptious mug of Hummingbird Coffee, yum!

Seen a class you'd like to attend but can't make the date? We can put a private class on for you, providing you have a group of four or more people and the appropriate tutor is available on the date you specify. Just drop us a line to info@themakecafe.co.nz.
