Beginner Sewing Course 2.0 – Amsterdam East

Now also available in Amsterdam East! Did you follow the Beginner Sewing Course 1.0 and would you like to continue and learn more things? Or do you have a little bit of experience but you need a refreshment? Than this could be a nice 4-week course for you!
_
In the first course you learned to make your own tote bag and your first garment. You learned the basics on the sewing machine and probably also on the serger. For the second course we will make a follow-up garment. With this course you can decide to make your own trousers or blouse/shirt. Also for this course you can use the patterns that are developed by De Steek. For women you can choose between a wide-legged pleated pants or a raglan-sleeve blouse. Men can choose a pantalon with an elastic waist or buttoned shirt.

Follow this 4-lesson course in the Sewing Cafe on the days/times of your preference (choose the dates/times of your lessons in the calendar on top of this page). The course is 2 hours per lesson.

Materials included?
If you book the materials included, then all materials for those projects are included. Because these lessons are held in our studio in the East, the choice of fabric for the clothing items is slightly more limited than in West (where our store is also located). We have these colors in stock for the garments as standard (but ask for the options if you have other wishes by email, we can bring extra from our store if we know in time):
> Pleated Trousers: black or beige corduroy
> Menswear pants (unisex model): black, blue or camel
> Womenswear blouse: offwhite or mustard
> Mens Shirt: black, blue or camel

*We are not responsible for finishing the pieces in time. We aim for you to finish it in those 4 lessons, but if you have particular wishes that are slowing the process, it can happen that you don’t finish in time. If it is not finished and you need extra help, you are of course welcome at our normal sewing lessons to finish it. If you finish earlier than the 4 lessons, you can start a new project, but the materials are not included anymore.
**You can also join this course if you’d like to make these garments, but didn’t do the first course, if you have a little bit of experience.
***Are you missing one of your lessons? No problem, we can reschedule: just make sure you cancel in time, max. one day before and we will reschedule. But if you are too late you will loose that one lesson! Send on e-mail to oost@desteekamsterdam.nl.
****Location of these classes is Christiaan de Wetstraat 114 in Amsterdam.
