Sew Your Own Skirt
About this workshop
Walk out wearing something you actually made yourself. This sewing workshop in Amsterdam is a hands-on session where you build a skirt from start to finish in just three hours at the Naaicafé.
You'll work with woven fabric and get comfortable using both the sewing machine and the overlocker (lockmachine). No faffing around with theory — you get straight into cutting, stitching, and finishing like you mean it. The steps are structured and the guidance is real, so even if you've never touched a sewing machine before, you'll keep up.
You leave with a finished skirt you made with your own hands — ready to wear.
Relaxed café setting, focused enough to actually get things done.
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.
