In this workshop the participant will learn the basics of sewing with a machine by making a canvas bag. Everything starts with just some fabric, sewing machine and a canvas bag but with a bit practise these basics can easily help to also create more complicated products. The tailors will also reveal some of their tricks and skills they developed to produce hand-made men shirts.
The tailors who will give the workshop are Ibrahim, Najib and Bashar. They all fled Syria a couple of years ago. Most of them worked in countries along the way (Turkey, Greece, Lebanon) as tailors to finance their trip. They all worked for many years in this profession and can make almost anything out of fabric. During their work at Refugee Company they learned to make tailor-made shirts and pattern making.
Deze workshop wordt aangeboden in samenwerking met The Refugee Company.
