De Steek is a Amsterdam‑based craft studio and teaching collective offering hands‑on sewing, upcycling and fibre craft workshops across De Pijp and Amsterdam West. The programme includes structured multi‑session courses such as beginner sewing series and lingerie workshops, short one‑day projects like upcycled baby sets and puff top classes, plus walk‑in and drop‑in lessons in a community Sewing Café.
Experienced makers and named instructors teach many sessions — for example, designer Ulara leads lingerie workshops, Michelle teaches sewing classes in Amsterdam West, Studio Itske runs upcycled baby projects, and illustrator Monique Clara contributes a punch needle workshop to special events. Classes cover practical skills such as machine basics, pattern work, repairing and visible mending, and garment construction from bralettes and underwire bras to skirts, pants and children’s clothes.
De Steek also hosts craft lessons for kids and teens, guided knitting, crochet, embroidery, punch needle and weaving sessions in the craft café, and offers table rentals for independent makers. Several offerings explicitly blend sustainability and reuse, with upcycling workshops to transform existing garments. Sessions and lessons are scheduled across neighbourhood studios and the craft café, with formats ranging from guided single‑project lessons to multi‑week courses for skill progression.
De Steek is listed on The Adventure Collective and presents its full schedule and booking options through that platform and direct studio listings.
