Study Programs

Coen Walstra Creatory offers practical, self-paced online video courses centered on sewing and textile crafting. The portfolio covers standard sewing machine fundamentals, basic and advanced overlock techniques, garment tailoring with overlock machines, and coverlock stitching. All offerings are independent creative training courses rather than formal academic degree programs, providing flexible distance learning for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike. For standard sewing machines, the provider offers the beginner course Nähen mit Herz, also presented as Glücklich Nähen. Designed for individuals starting without prior knowledge as well as those returning to the craft, this course guides students through machine components, mechanical and computerized threading, thread tension adjustment, and stitch varieties. The curriculum covers foundational techniques such as sewing curves and corners, reading patterns, handling fabric varieties, and mastering seam finishes like French seams and flat-felled seams, culminating in five guided sewing projects. Machine-specific training includes two distinct overlock programs. The foundational course, Liebe deine Ovi, contains 38 video lessons totaling more than five hours of content, guiding learners through accessories, differential feed settings, two threading techniques, and up to 22 overlock stitch types. It also covers troubleshooting, rolled hems, decorative seams, and practical projects including a tote bag and a pillowcase. For advanced apparel making, the provider offers Kleidung nähen mit der Overlock, which delivers more than six hours of video instruction focused on drafting patterns and sewing six specific garments: a dress, a palazzo skirt, a jersey shirt, a gathered skirt, a decorative t-shirt, and a summer cardigan. The catalog also includes Covern mit Liebe, an online course specifically focused on coverlock and coverstitch machines. Comprising 26 high-definition video lessons, this course trains students on machine components, tension settings, chain stitching, decorative thread techniques, hemming, embroidering, and working with delicate fabrics or lace. All programs offered by the provider operate entirely online via digital platforms, allowing participants to complete self-guided coursework at their own pace using any standard machine model from home.
