Always wanted to start sewing but don’t know where to begin. Join our beginner sewing lesson in our Sewing Café, where you will learn the basics while creating your very first project: a simple yet stylish tote bag. Each session includes a kit with organic cotton fabric and hemp straps, with options to choose your preferred colors. During the lesson, you will learn essential skills such as threading the sewing machine, cutting fabric, creating basic seams with straight stitch, finishing seams with zig-zag stitch, hemming, and making squared corners. This hands-on session provides a supportive environment to explore sewing and gain confidence on the machine.
The lesson is guided by fashion designer Andrea van der Kuil and is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some experience who wish to refresh their skills. Classes are conducted in Dutch and English and take place in a friendly, collaborative environment where participants work alongside others on similar beginner projects. From January, all Sewing Café workshops, courses, and lessons will be held at our Amsterdam West location, providing a creative and inspiring space to learn.

Ashley
The coziest place to learn new skills where you are encouraged to repair or create and not buy new. The people working there are so helpful as well and I know ZERO about sewing and they have a ton of patience and tips.

Elisabetta
lovely experience! in just three hours I was able to learn the basics of sewing and complete my very first project. teachers were super nice and knowledgeable.
Kara
I had the most amazing time learning to sew my first tote bag with Ana. The guidance is clear and easy to follow. I had never touched a sewing machine before but after a crash course from Ana, I felt more confident to operate the machine independently. Will surely be back for a second project.
Jiri
Took my first sewing class ever yesterday and cannot be happier for choosing I am Nold. After first lesson I, as absolute beginner, managed to put together nice tote back and learn a lot. Guidance provided by Natalie was brilliant and she really helped me make a progress. She was very helpful. Definitely made me motivated to take more classes and progress with my sewing. Also got some recommendation on further progress which is always nice. Like the vibe of the place, there is always nice cup of tea / coffee so looking forward to go back. If you ever wanted to learn how to saw, this is the place.
