About This Adventure

Join a 3-hour workshop at our Sewing Café to create your own stylish Tied Top using organic materials. Perfect for all skill levels, you'll learn essential sewing techniques while embracing a zero-waste approach. Enjoy professional guidance, flexible scheduling, and leave with a unique garment you crafted yourself!

Duration: 3 h

With this package it is possible to follow 3 hours of lessons in our Sewing Café and you can choose the materials in our store to develop your own easy-to-make Tied Top. You can choose between different colours of organic materials in your class. With this lesson you will use our Tied Top Sewing Pattern from De Steek collection. This lesson is a nice way to learn the basics on the sewing machine and serger or to create a full garment in a small amount of time. All levels can join this workshop. _ What you will learn: cutting fabric, basic stitches for finishing and assembling & working with stretchy materials.

This pattern is from our zero-waste collection. Zero waste pattern making is the process of altering a pattern so that no fabric is left unused. All pattern pieces fit in the full width and length of the fabric. Because it’s a zero-waste pattern (it fits only in one way on the full width), this pattern is in one-size only (possible to wear with size S – L).
