Sew Your Own Legging
About this workshop
Learn to sew your own legging in this hands-on sewing class at De Steek Amsterdam. Whether you want a full-length straight cut or a cropped capri style, you'll build a real, wearable piece from start to finish.
This sewing workshop in Amsterdam focuses on the skills that actually trip people up: working with stretch fabrics and getting comfortable on a overlock machine (lockmachine). You'll learn how to handle jersey or lycra without it going wonky, how to finish seams cleanly, and how to construct a legging that actually fits and stays put.
You leave with a finished legging you made yourself, plus the confidence to work with stretch materials again at home.
Chill, focused, and hands-on. Dutch spoken.
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.
