Do you want to learn French and how to knit at the same time? Visit Sweat Shop in Paris where they offer summer courses!

Aiming to facilitate the DIY movement in the world of clothing, Sweat Shop offers 10 workstations equipped with Singer sewing machines as well as a central communal table. Amid a relaxed atmosphere featuring funky furniture, hot beverages and organic treats, sewing enthusiasts can come and go as they please, paying rates of EUR 6 per hour to rent a machine or EUR 25 for the day, including tea and coffee. A series of weekly workshops on sewing and knitting techniques are also available, ranging from EUR 20 to EUR 80 per class. American brand Singer sponsored the sewing machines, Sweat Shop also sells kits including everything necessary to create a particular item of clothing.

Given the continuing interest in all things DIY, there are plenty of opportunities to facilitate the customer made trend among crafters in other parts of the world. In Berlin, Linkle offers a similar sweat shop workspace and we're curious what cities are to follow…
