Stories of our students
Mila
launch 2 graduate
What she said before the course:

“I’m a newbie at sewing, so I would like to learn things the right way from the start. I want to use nice fabrics as soon as possible and wear nice clothes.

I also looked at my first projects and realized that the finishings are not my forte. I’m not very well-versed in hand stitches and I wish I could be more precise.”

What she said before the course:

“I’m an experienced sewist, but for the most part, I’m pretty basic in what I do. I’d love to level up in all regards. I sew well, and people like what I do, but the appearance is definitely not enough! I know what’s going on on the inside, and I’m constantly disappointed :( I hope the course helps me be proud of my projects to the full extent.”

What she said before the course:

“I’m a certified fashion designer, now I want to dive deeper into the luxurious finishing methods.
I’m here to become more professional in my craft. After college, I have certain gaps that I need to fill, because the program lacked practice and was a little outdated.”
