Professional fashion pattern maker, certified sewing instructor, and the heart behind Looks and DIY.

What started as a personal escape grew into a full creative business. I left the corporate path behind and pursued my true calling: I earned a Higher National Diploma in Pattern Making and Fashion Design, followed by an official teaching certification for vocational education—and never looked back.

In 2021, I was honored with the Extraordinary Award in Fashion Design by the region of Aragón, and in 2022, I became a finalist in the Elle Talent Project, a national fashion contest in Spain (in the magazine I had admired since I was a child!).

After finishing my fashion studies, I started teaching sewing and pattern making at a local academy. What I didn’t expect was the community that blossomed there. When I eventually moved on, some of my students begged me to open my own sewing school — “Wherever you go, we’ll follow!” (Their words still warm my heart today ❤).

At the same time, life began to open doors: I was invited to give a class in my university’s business faculty (marketing and web!). I launched my first sewing course in Spanish, followed by my online academy of sewing and pattern making. New releases soon followed: The Zipperpedia, a comprehensive guide to mastering zippers, and my own line of professional sewing patterns.

I’ve been lucky to collaborate with brands like Pranamat ECO, Colvin, or Firmoo, and to be featured in events like Feria Creativa. But what I value most is the growing global community that’s trusted my patterns and courses — more than 500 students and sewing lovers who remind me that creativity is connection.
