What other say about this Online Course:
Thank you Maaike! I'm having super fun, I never thought I would have the nerve to re-do so many steps to better the outcome. I'm always doing things too quick. Now I'm really enjoying the calm stitching and measuring.
-Meri
Thanks Maaike, I can´t find words, how great is this online course. I love it and I´m happy now to start the next new tutorial!!! Thanks for all.
-Bettina
Maaike, thank you so much! It's just so fantastic to learn how to do this properly. With everything I do I feel the need to show it (to my husband or the dogs) and say: oh look how amazing, look what I've learned!
-Diana
Hello Maaike, just started on lesson 3. It's nice to learn so much new techniques!
-Hanne
Maaike - Thank you for a jacket pattern that fits! I was expecting to just do the sew-along to learn the techniques and wasn't expecting to get a jacket I could wear at the end of it, so I'm now super exited to get going!
-Tanya
Thank you Maaike! I like this online course very much!! It was a long time ago when I sew a jacket. I like the combination of hand and machine stitching. Especially quilting the panels....amazing!
-Ineke
Thank you Maaike, I have a lot of fun to learn of your lessons.
I had been planning to make a French jacket for a few years, but it never came to pass. this course gives me a stick behind the door.

Zo onwijs leuk gevonden! Super bedankt voor alle adviezen en werkbeschrijvingen. 👌🏼 Ik zou het iedereen aanraden, of je nu veel of weinig naai ervaring hebt! Het jasje zit als gegoten. ❤️
-Floortje
It was such a learning experience for me, as a relative beginner with sewing, to make such a detailed jacket! But I loved every part of it! Thanks Maaike Andriessen for providing us with this opportunity online and all the help! And a thank you to all the others, from whom I also learned very much and gotten a lot of inspiration!!
