From ‘I wish I could sew’ to ‘I made my entire wardrobe’
Your sewing journey starts here.
Learn with clarity and purpose. Sew with confidence. And build a wardrobe that fits your body, your style, and your life.
A no-stress method for every sewist — no ‘expert skills’ needed!
Excitement.
That spark you feel when you buy new fabric.
When you picture yourself creating the dream outfit that’s been living rent-free in your mind for weeks.
But somewhere between the first stitch and the final try-on… something gets lost.
· Finishes that don’t look as polished as you imagined.
· Choosing fabric feels like a gamble.
· Adjusting your machine? Still a mystery.
What was supposed to be your relaxing creative escape now feels like a test you weren’t prepared for.
I know how that feels—because I’ve been there too.
And from now on, you don’t have to go through it alone.
This is the complete course for dressmaking you need to finally stop feeling overwhelmed. Stop just “teaching yourself to sew” from scattered online tutorials and endless sewing techniques for beginners PDFs. I’ll give you a proven sewing curriculum for beginners that guides you from your first stitch to sewing a wardrobe full of clothes you love and that actually fit.
A hands-on experience designed to guide you, step by step. Each project builds on the previous one—starting simple, growing in complexity—so your skills (and confidence) grow naturally.
A skill that lasts a lifetime, and with it, you’ll be able to sew your own wardrobe without depending on sizes, fashion, or trends. You set the pace, you make the rules here.
Spoiler: without feeling lost or overwhelmed.
📚 All the content—both theoretical and practical—has been carefully designed to be easy to follow and accessible anytime, anywhere.
🧩 It’s all structured. Everything has its place. No more jumping between random hacks or feeling unsure about your next step.
🫖Your post-work hours? They become your favorite part of the day. This course turns your hobby into a ritual—restful, rewarding, and entirely yours. It will feel like a vacation.
🧭 Think of this course as the travel guide that turns ‘sewing confusion’ into your handmade wardrobe adventure.

“I really liked it, you can tell it has been prepared thoroughly and it gives you step-by-step explanations with images so that people like me, who do not master sewing, can understand it perfectly.”

Students of The Zipperpedia
Sewing instructor, pattern designer, and the creator behind Looks and DIY.
Years ago, sewing was my way out of burnout. I turned my passion into my profession, studied Fashion Design & Patternmaking, and even won the “Extraordinary Award” in Aragón, Spain (2021) and was a finalist in the Elle Talent Project (2022).
But beyond the awards, my mission is simple: to make sewing a form of self-care.
A way to slow down, reconnect, and create something beautiful—while building a wardrobe that truly feels like you.
That’s why I designed MADE BY ME: to give you the most complete step-by-step sewing experience, guiding you through timeless pieces you’ll actually wear.
