about

... is a community workshop based in Amsterdam Oost.

The workshop brings together people of different generations and backgrounds to create, repair, and rework garments. Established in response to loneliness and social isolation among older residents, it functions as both a sewing studio and a social space.

Participants work on repairs, upcycling projects, and garment-making while sharing skills, techniques, stories, and experiences. Older makers contribute decades of practical knowledge, while younger participants introduce new ideas and approaches, creating an ongoing exchange between generations.

The garments available through this shop are developed within the workshop and help support its activities. Proceeds contribute to materials, equipment, workshops, and maintaining an accessible place for people to meet and make together.
