Samantha Heemskerk

Certified seamstress, teacher and pattern designer at Sewing Studio 6

”I have enjoyed teaching sewing classes to beginners and advanced students since 2012.”

Sewing Studio 6

The studio is a large room of 6.5 x 4 meters on the second floor of our house.

There is a large custom-made table in the middle with spacious and professional workstations. There is a large cutting table in the corner where you can cut your fabrics while standing.

Overlooking the water of the

Vivaldisingel

, it is a quiet and inspiring space for sewing classes.

Introducing

My name is Samantha Heemskerk and I am the owner of

Sewing studio 6

since 2012. If you are at

sewing class

I will guide you.

I was born in 1984 and am very happy with my lovely husband, two daughters and a cat.

Since I went to sewing class by myself, with the sewing machine between my knees on the scooter. Sewing has always played a central role in my life. I have made everything from a gym bag, garments, jackets, baby clothes, costumes and wedding dresses. Worn out several tornado knives and obtained several recognized diplomas.

Personally, I think I have the most fun job ever, and love to share my knowledge with you. Both in the blogs, newsletters and my

patterns webshop

.

Acknowledgment

I work with the pattern magazine Knipmode
And am one of the official Knipmode professionals sewing schools.

Cha-Ching

My mobile makes a very cute; “cha-ching” sound when a pattern is sold. And every time then I make a joy dance.

Pattern sales

40 weeks a year I teach sewing classes and during the summer break I draw patterns and sew clothes on commission from

Nelly Vogler

For opera Noord-holland-noord.

In the corona period I started working with Chantal Hogenes of

leukenaaipatronen

. We have taken, and are still taking, several courses. To do so with the well-known program

CLo3D

and

adobe Illustrator

, very accurate and extensively tested patrons to create.

It takes about 2 months to make a new pattern. Consider designing, drawing out, testing, modifying, writing a manual, taking and uploading photos.

It’s great to be totally focused on a PDF sewing pattern which can then be purchased

from the

webshop.

Training

MTS architecture

September 2000 to June 2004

Through this completed technical training, I developed my spatial insight to the fullest and I use this to this day in pattern drawing and reading technical work descriptions.

Movak Coupeuse

September 2003 to June 2005

At the renowned dutch Movak (fashion trade school) I got first my costumière and then my coupeuse diploma. Here I learned the rundschau pattern drawing techniques.

HBO Artemis Academy

September 2006 to June 2008

At this school, I learned about both the artistic and “hard” business side of the fashion business and learned a lot about fabrics and materials. This allows me to give my students inspiration on color combinations and the many types of fabric.
