what you’ll be able to create

after learning with patternmaking 101

these are some of the projects i’ve worked on throughout my journey. each piece started with a pattern, an idea, and the willingness to learn step by step.

some were challenging, some required a few mistakes along the way but every project taught me something new. as you learn patternmaking and garment construction, you’ll be able to create pieces like these too made to your measurements, designed with intention, and built with confidence.

here is a little bit

about me / patternmaking 101

hi, i’m jesüs! a web designer and developer with a deep love for making clothes.

this website is where I bring both worlds together. I created it to share what I’ve learned about patternmaking and garment construction in a way that feels simple, practical, and approachable. my sewing journey started with small projects and thrift flips, but everything changed when I began learning how to draft patterns made to my own measurements. that’s when clothes finally started fitting the way I imagined.

now, I want to help you do the same.
