Learn to sew using a pattern

Learn to sew using a pattern!
Many of us enjoy sewing but are unsure how to read a pattern and what to keep in mind when planning a sewing project.
With the party season approaching, we are once again holding a two-day course on Saturday and Sunday, November 14 and 15. Diana Stroud-Pettersen from Atelier Varmen will guide us through both the theory (Saturday) and hands-on sewing (Saturday and Sunday), with a lovely top or a short kimono as the finished result (a sewing project suitable for both women and men).
Registration covers both days!

This course is for those with some sewing experience—that is, anyone who is already comfortable using a sewing machine and wants to take the next step by learning to read sewing patterns from a fashion magazine and developing skills in techniques such as inserting zippers and attaching neckline facings.

The sewing course runs from 12 noon to 4 pm on Saturday and from 12 noon to 4 pm on Sunday, with the option to use the Workshop after opening hours to finish the day's tasks if you wish
(available to those aged over 18 who have a library card with us and sign an agreement for unsupervised use of the Workshop)

You need to bring:
- Enthusiasm for sewing
- A good mood
- Your own cotton or linen fabric, 2 meters.

Please note! We work with WOVEN fabrics! Stretch fabrics, such as those used to make T-shirts, are not suitable for this course!

- Pen and notepad

You can borrow a sewing machine and other sewing equipment here at Verkstedet.
Doors open 10 minutes before the course starts!

Location: Verkstedet, 3rd floor
