Sew. Create. Be Happy.

Picture
Hi, my name is Maaike Andriessen and I am a passionate dressmaker and founder of The Dressmakers Academy.

25 years ago, I took my first sewing lesson in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and  a lifelong passion was born!
My first job as a dressmaker was at a bridal Couture House
where my love for beautiful fabrics and couture sewing techniques was ignited.   
Since then, I have worked at many bridal houses,
​ran my own workshop and worked for many private and commercial clients.

One of the highlights so far in my career was working on a
gown for our beautiful Dutch Queen Maxima.
To share my knowledge, I founded The Dressmakers Academy in 2018.
​
Based at an ancient tower in the lovely city of Edam, I teach on- and offline sewing courses and sewing retreats.
Next to teaching, I am available for private assignments and sewing orders. Just call me on: 0629025141

​I am also currently working on my first book on the French Couture Jacket sewing techniques.
