Never touched a sewing machine yet? Don’t know what to start with? Sign up for our 4-lesson Beginner Sewing Course in our Sewing Café! And.. you can start and follow the course whenever you’d like!

In this course you will learn all the basics you need to know on the sewing machine. In the first 1/1,5 lesson(s) you will make your first tote bag. After this we will start with your first garment and create your own skirt, t-shirt or (flared) legging!* You can choose between two types of skirts (wrap skirt or circle skirt), an easy to make basic tee (crop or longer, you can choose the length) or a flared/normal legging from the pattern collection of De Steek.

Follow this 4-week course on a moment of your choice, depending on the opening hours of the Sewing Cafe. The course is 2 hours per week. Guidance is provided by professional fashion designers (Natalie, Sjoukje, Aida or Amber). Classes are both in Dutch and English.

••You can add the materials you will need or bring your own in this course. If you choose the materials included, you will get the organic materials to make your own tote bag and/or skirt/t-shirt/legging. For the clothing items you can choose the fabric yourself in our store.••

With the tote bag you can choose different colors of canvas fabric (organic cotton) and straps (hemp). If you choose to follow the course without materials, you will get a list by e-mail with everything you need to bring.

It is still possible to buy the materials in our store during the classes as well.
