STORIES OF OUR STUDENTS
Daria
There has never been a moment I would regret joining Viksiews Academy! I was a total zero at the beginning and started having problems right away, with my very first toile 😄 However, the videos were very detailed indeed, so I studied them thoroughly and asked mentors for assistance, which helped me finally succeed. 
I’m so grateful for your support, patience, and hard work! 💕 
I have a lot to learn still. Just a few months ago, I would think that such sleek garments were impossible for me to sew. I’m happy to continue learning with you 💛

I am so proud of my results and I love the clothes that I made, they are priceless to me.The time flew by and I have learned a lot. I wanted to absorb every single lesson, remember every second of the video, and study every detail. I have never had a chance to learn from true sewing professionals before.
Now I definitely feel more confident in everything regarding fitting issues. I know how to alter patterns and make them fit me (turned out to be pretty easy, by the way). The mentors were there to clarify things and check my results. Thank you everyone who made this course possible. I definitely recommend the course!

This course was in line with my own, personal changes. I made the Bethany skirt and Madelaine dress for my sister, then made the Whitney trousers for my daughter. Huge thanks to the mentors! You were like wonderful sewing fairies to me. And I can’t stress enough how aesthetically pleasing the videos are! It’s magical that you can just sit in front of your sewing machine and sew something you imagined or saw somewhere. Just like that, with your own pair of hands. Thank you for this experience Vikisews 🙏💕
