During this workshop, you will learn to make a reusable sandwich bag step by step. Sustainable, beautiful, and practical: the ideal combination!
You will have a choice of various fabrics and can use our school’s sewing machines and all the necessary materials. Laurence will guide you using examples to achieve a good end result. We start with a brief introduction to the sewing machines, after which we will soon be proudly holding our first project in our hands!

Sewing experience is not necessary at all; a little dexterity and a lot of enthusiasm are sufficient for this workshop!

This workshop is offered by CVO GENT.

SEWING

The sewing course at CVO GENT consists of various modules. You start as a complete beginner, aiming to have already produced 5 finished pieces by the end of the first year. Each subsequent year, more and more difficult techniques are introduced, which together lead to at least 2 finished custom-made pieces per school year. As you progress, you gain more insight into the various sewing techniques, develop your own style, and learn to work more and more on custom-made items. Nothing is more fun than receiving compliments on your self-made outfit!
