We have two types of class. We run standalone classes where you can come and make a project with us – we ask that you book on those. We also run regular drop-in sessions that we call ‘Come and sew,’ and ‘Knit and natter’ where no booking is needed.
How to book a standalone course
If you want to book on a class, you can either call us directly, on 07867 760900, drop us an email at deborah@wizardmakes.com or book via the Events tab on our Facebook page.

Roman blinds – machine stitched
Have you done a bit of sewing and want to make something useful for your home? Do you want to save some money by making your own window dressings?
If you answered “Yes” to either of these questions then we have just the sewing course for you. Join Debs at WizardMakes, and learn the theory behind Roman blinds.
During this session you will learn the theory behind how to measure for and calculate the rod positioning for a Roman blind. You will produce samples ready for you to head home and create your own with the help of the notes that are provided.
You can either bring your own machine, or use one of Debs’ Janome machines from their current range.

Cost £50 Maximum class size 6 All materials provided to create a 60cm sample. Should you wish to make a larger blind mention this at the time of booking. A larger headrail can be provided at extra cost.

Come and sew drop-in sessions
update – NEW VENUE, dates and Times
Location:
The Old Corn Mill
(Opposite Cromford Court and above Trusted IT)
New Road
Whaley Bridge
High Peak
SK23 7JG
We have lots of new sessions organised, starting Monday 7 October 2019.
Are you anxious about taking the next step in your sewing? Would you like an expert on hand to guide and support you? Do you want your sewing to be a social event? This is the chance to do that. Drop-in sessions that can be taken on a Pay-as-you-go basis or booked as a half term block.
Currently the costs are £12 per session or if you book for a full half term at a time then it comes down to £10 per session, but the total will depend on the length of the half term. Many of our members find that this means that their activity is prioritised by the family. (Our own Debs know that this certainly used to be the case for her.)
No booking needed. Just bring along your fabric and pattern, and use our Janome sewing machines, overlocker, scissors, needles etc.
