Sew a Tube Top or Skirt
About this workshop
Walk into a sewing workshop in Amsterdam West and walk out wearing something you actually made. In this 2-hour sewing class at the Sewing Café, you'll pick up a needle, thread, and stretchy fabric and get straight to work on a tube top or tube skirt. No experience needed. The session is hands-on from the start: you'll measure, cut, and sew your piece using a sewing machine, with guidance at every step. The techniques are simple but real: straight stitching, finishing edges, and getting the fit right. It's practical, focused, and moves fast enough to stay fun. You leave with a finished, wearable tube top or skirt you made yourself in a single sitting. Relaxed, friendly, no pressure.
About the host
DE STEEK is Amsterdam's go-to spot for anyone who wants to learn to sew, stitch, or fix what they already own. Part sewing café, part fabric shop, part workshop studio. It's a proper creative space where making things with your hands is just what people do on a Tuesday afternoon. Founded in 2019 by fashion designer Natalie de Koning, DE STEEK grew out of eight years of teaching sewing across Amsterdam. The idea was simple: bring it all under one roof, make it accessible to everyone, and ditch the intimidation factor completely. It worked. At the studio, a rotating team of fashion designers and textile artists run workshops on everything from pattern cutting to natural dyeing to visible mending.
DE STEEK's workshops attract total beginners and experienced makers alike. No judgement, no pressure, just good instruction, the right tools, and a room full of people figuring it out together.
