What you got to loose?

Lock, stocked and full on fun

We have a studio filled with sewing machines, overlockers, irons, cutting tables and mats, scissors, rulers, paper and every tool and piece of equipment you could dream of ever needing.

Sewing can be a spenny hobby, but you don’t need to buy everything, where the hell you gonna keep it anyway, so let’s just share this stuff instead.

Dedicate a slice of your valuable time to your sewing practice with a cheery little gobby kiwi at your side giving you invaluable insight and encouragement every step of your “am I doing this right’ way x

Sewing FAQ's

Do I need any previous experience?

Just a little. We recommend you attend our learn to sew – the basics workshop so you know how we like our machines to be treated. But if you have the confidence then just get here already!.

I dont understand this bit?

Let me at it! Let me explain this technique to you, in over a hundred different ways until the eureka moment. We will get there!

I always struggle with zips?

Yeah, fiddly little fuckers! We can show you how to insert zips in everything you own! Especially concealed zips, they are our fave!

I want to make patterns please?

Nope. A whole different set of skills that is so comprehensive I wont make time for. Adjustments and pattern hacking is sweet though.

Can I bring my dinner?

Yeah course. We have a bar out the back, plates, cutlery, toaster, jug/kettle butter, salt and pepper you know the basics. Eat up x

Shop FAQs

I am running late?

Damn it! We start our classes bang on time – It’s just how we roll. If you are late – you may be turned away and will need to re-book for another time.

Kinda like rocking up to the theatre late and the show has started so you have to wait outside until half time, except there is no half time and we can’t catch you up, and you will just disrupt the whole session. Think about your fellow class mates x

Can I reschedule my booking?

Yes! Please email anouska@make.town to request a new date that works with our current calendar. This must be no later than 72 hours (3 days) before your class takes place. If you miss this window, tough titties.

Rescheduling is fine, we are fully capable, but it does suck lots of time, so please be clear and quick. Much appreciated.

I can't come and I only found out today!

Yeah sorry! We have already prepped and planned for your class by now, so you can send a mate in your place instead.

Sometimes we have a waiting list and are happy to offer your place. But no guarantees as this is not always the case.

I only used 1/2 of my booking can i use the rest later?

Not this time! We don’t refund or rebook any unused time.

Think about it like missing the opening act of a gig, you don’t get half ya ticket price refunded at the box office back cause you were late, or walked out half way through. You just gotta suck this one up.
