Discover the secrets of sewing with Caroline !This passionate artisan will be delighted to welcome you to her beautiful workshop. After taking some time to get to know you, she will explain her background and the theory behind her skills.
Then it is time to get hands-on! First you will discover the design of your pouch, which is suitable for beginners as well as advanced enthusiasts. With Caroline's help, you will then choose your favourite fabric from the range on offer, before discovering the main functions of the sewing machine. She will then take you step by step through the process of making your pouch, from cutting to sewing to assembling.
You will also have the chance to add personal touches to your creation, such as cords, light embroidery or other decorative elements.
Caroline will be by your side every step of the way to answer any questions you may have and to help you if you need it.
At the end of the session, you will leave with your very own beautiful multi-purpose pouch, ready to hold whatever you want it to hold: loose food, toiletries, underwear, storage space... The possibilities are endless!
NB: For this workshop you can bring your own sewing machine for personalised help with your design.
Workshop location
Caroline's studio is located in the Anderlecht district and can be reached by bus and metro (Aumale station).
This place is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Caroline worked for a long time in the IT field before leaving all of it behind to do what she loves best. Since 2017, she has returned to her childhood love of sewing. Her Italian grandmother introduced her to sewing and Caroline is happy to share her knowledge of it in this workshop. Being very creative and versatile, Caroline discovered cyanotyping in 2019 and became passionate about this still underdeveloped method! She makes prints mainly from dried plants or photographic negatives and immortalises beautiful memories through them. She runs workshops to teach others this technique so you can make your own cyan blue creations. You will be introduced to her large 60 sq. ft. workshop located on the 3rd floor of an old factory that has been transformed into a modern venue and now hosts workshops, businesses and events. Weather permitting, you can enjoy one of the beautiful terraces during the workshops!

C'est sans aucune expérience mais trÚs curieuse d'apprendre que je me suis inscrite à cet atelier et quelle bonne idée! C'est avec patience, humour, bienveillance et amour pour l'art de la couture que Caroline nous guide dans nos premiers pas parfois hésitants. Une passion qu'elle a su transmettre lors de cet échange et qui m'a donné envie de ne pas en rester là :)
