Would you like to learn how to make your own clothes? In this course especially for children 10 years and older, you will learn how to work with a sewing machine and how to make your own clothes. This is not only great fun, it's also convenient! Imagine being able to make clothes all by yourself and decorate them too.

In brief

During this course you will get to work making clothes. You will learn the basic techniques of sewing, such as finishing seams and working with different fabrics. But there is also room to design your own: what do you like, which fabric suits your style? This way you learn step by step to make your own creations.
