De Steek

De Steek is a sewing school and shop in the Staats­lie­den­bu­urt dis­trict in Ams­ter­dam-West. The shop and sewing school were foun­ded by desi­gner Nata­lie de Koning and offers ever­y­thing in the field of (sus­tainable) hand­ma­de fashion. 

If you’­ve always wan­ted to learn how to sew, this is your chan­ce! You can attend sewing clas­ses, work­shops and cour­ses in the cosy sewing cafe. If you are more expe­ri­en­ced, you can also work inde­pendent­ly in the café. In addi­ti­on, you can find the most beau­tiful fabrics, pat­terns and haber­da­shery for your sewing pro­jects in the shop. 

The offer in the shop is very eco­lo­gi­cal. The haber­da­shery is of good qua­li­ty and made with as litt­le pla­s­tic as pos­si­ble, the ela­s­tic is made of natu­ral rub­ber and the stit­ching thread is made of orga­nic cot­ton and recy­cled poly­es­ter. With the excep­ti­on of the recy­cled poly­es­ter for the swim­wear and lin­ge­rie work­shops, all the fabrics in the shop are made from natu­ral materials.
