The clothes you love the most often wear out the hardest too. So what do you do with it? We do not believe in throwing them away, and turn that little hole or worn-out spot into a decoration!
Embroidery makes the most beautiful creations, giving your clothes new value and making them a truly unique piece that belongs to you. This technique comes from Japan, where it is called Sashiko. In English, it is called visible mending. Call it what you like.
In this fine workshop, you will learn the technique and go home with your self-repaired beloved garment and a new skill. Under fine guidance from De Modestraat, you will learn how to do it. Sewing experience is not necessary!
De Modestraat is an artistic breeding ground and a meeting place for the neighbourhood on Buikslotermeerplein in Amsterdam North. Artists and social entrepreneurs alike have workplaces in the studios.
At the Wisselboetiek, you can swap your clothes for a new vintage find. At the sewing studio, you can learn how to turn that find into a completely new creation.
