Beginner Course: Linen Shorts

For beginners who are sewing their own clothes for the first time, the Rog Center is organizing a beginner sewing course.

Join us for a four-day sewing course where you will learn the basics of sewing on industrial and household sewing machines. You will learn the basics of adjusting a simple pattern to your measurements, how to correctly place pattern pieces on fabric, cut them, prepare them, and finally sew them into a finished product. In this session, we will learn to cut and sew linen shorts with an elastic waistband, making summer days even more enjoyable.

In the course, we will also show you small tricks, such as stabilizing the sewing machine foot, easier ironing of edges, and methods for the most precise assembly and sewing of pattern pieces...

If the description interests you, don’t wait! Join us and make your first pair of shorts!

Material - 100% linen - for making the shorts is already included in the final price of the course.
