the 1-piece swimming costume - 7 June 2025

Workshops are generally held on our premises. The premises are PRM-compliant, so you can access them easily.

A very large free car park is available in front of our premises

You can access the housing estate :

• by car from the Mulhouse motorway (A36) or
• by bus: bus routes 8 and C5 stop at Cité de l'Habitat
• by tram or train: 15 to 20 minutes' walk from Lutterbach station

Workshops take place over half or a full day or more; in small groups of a maximum of 4 people (minimum of 2 people except in the case of individual personalised courses).

We'll teach you how to choose and differentiate between the different materials and products that will ensure the success of your project.

You will also learn sewing techniques specific to lingerie and swimwear, depending on the nature of the course.

The duration of the course has been specially adapted to ensure that the workshop is a real forum for exchange between all the participants and to give each participant the opportunity to complete a personalised project. The length of the course may therefore vary slightly.

We really hope that everyone will be able to adapt their project so that all the participants can benefit from the richness of the technical discussions in a convivial atmosphere.

In this way, you will acquire real and precise knowledge of both materials and sewing techniques so that you can pursue other projects at home.

As well as technical training, these classes are also a time for sharing and exchanging ideas.

For courses that take place during the day, there is a lunch break to take a breather, chat and enjoy a moment of conviviality. Meals are not provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. A microwave is available to heat up your meal if you need to.

Depending on the day of the course, 2 Italian restaurants located in the immediate vicinity may offer takeaway meals. Please let us know if they are open.

We have coffee, tea and other beverages available.

You can book a private workshop for one or more people to learn how to make a piece of lingerie of your choice.

You can celebrate a special event or simply have a great time with friends.

You choose the theme and the date that suits you, during the week or at the weekend.

Contact me directly by email or telephone to define your project.

You can cancel your course up to 3 weeks before the course, subject to the 14-day cancellation period.

In the event of cancellation or postponement of the workshop, you will be offered another date on the same theme or the course will be refunded in full.

Once the withdrawal period has passed, no refunds or postponements will be possible, and payment will be retained. You will receive the pattern and a kit for the workshop at
at the address of your choice. However, you will be able to offer or resell your place to a person of your choice.

All lessons, even if only partially completed, must be paid for in full.

You will be able to:

• Make your own swimming costume
• Identifying the different stretch materials
• Choosing the right supplies
• Sewing stretch fabrics and lace
• Sew on laminette elastic bands
• Making braces
• Sandwich seams, also known as sheath seams
• Produce and follow the assembly line for a swimming costume with its lining

All materials are included in the course. The choice depends on your project:

• the pattern in paper version
• fabrics, lace
• elastic bands
• accessories: rings, adjusters, staples, etc.

The equipment needed for the sewing course is also available: scissors, cutters, rulers, etc. as well as an ELNA sewing machine and a BERNINA overlock machine.

I advise you to come with your sewing machine if possible. You'll be familiar with it, so you won't be disturbed by another machine and you'll leave with the settings for your sewing machine.

If you are not coming with your machine, please let me know so that I can prepare the seats before you arrive.
