Workshop "CREATIVE SEWING"
Let’s take a closer look to the “CREATIVE SEWING” Workshop we gave at Modefachschule Simgaringen some weeks ago. PFAFF Germany, leading manufacturer of sewing machines with 160 years experience provided most modern overlock machines (Admire Air 7000) allowing the students to try and use the machines and to create unusual and special sewing solutions. It was so amazing to see how curious and ambitioned they used the two days workshop to develop stunning seam samples and to prove how easy the machines can be handled. It’s my pleasure to show you some of the results here (More to follow in PFAFF’s magazine “YOUR STYLE” later this year… )

You see, possibilities are endless. Having some experience, it is not really a problem to create unique seams and bring more details and individuality to a collection. Hope you are inspired, too. Stay tuned, more input to follow soon…
All the best, Reiner
