Hi! I'm Maaike Andriessen, passionate dressmaker and founder of The Dressmakers Academy.
25 years ago, I had my first sewing lesson in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. A lifelong passion was born!
Since then, I have worked at many bridal houses, ran my own workshop and worked for many private and commercial clients and designers. One of the highlights in my career, was working on a gown for our beautiful Dutch Queen Maxima.
In 2018, I founded The Dressmakers Academy. From here, I share my knowledge by teaching students on- and offline from all over the world. It is my mission to show the world Couture sewing techniques are not as difficult as one might often think, and everyone can learn to apply them!
Next to that, I am developping a system to clean out your wardrobe, mend clothes when needed, and add timeless home sewn pieces to it that fit your type and figure.
My workshop is situated in an 14th century bell tower in the lovely city of Edam. from here I also organize sewing retreat week that are a great success. I am currently also working on my first book on couture sewing and want to write a book on mending clothes in the near future.
