STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
Here's what some of our graduates have to say about us

Skirts,shirts,dresses,jackets,and pants - we've learned the fundamental techniques behind them all. Who would have thought that a three hour class could go by so quickly? Who would have thought that an L square or curve rule and measuring tape could become one's best friend? ....But I guess that's what happens when you get a room full of witty women and an experienced and capable teacher together.

Freehand sewing is the perfect solution for people who have lots of vision and creativity but not a lot of time. VJ's surefire techniques can be adjusted to the styles of today, yesteryear and whatever the future may bring. Watch out Valentino,Gucci,Donna Karen Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gautier! Now we can dress like our favorite celebrities for a fraction of the price. The finished product will just be our size! Tailored to perfection and just the right shade.

There are no one-size-fits-all garments to be found; which is exactly as it should be - after all, have you ever found any two women to be exactly the same?

Never in my wildest dream did I think that I would be able to sew whatever my mind could conceive. My mother is an excellent seamstress but I never had the patience for all those patterns and instructions. I would be embarrassed to say how many incomplete sewing projects I had lying around from past attempts.

But now, thanks to VJ Fashion Design Institute I have a new wardrobe. A wardrobe of fashionable clothes created by me just for me!

These classes are informative,fun and needless to say well worth the money. The Instructor is extremely knowledgeable, patient and skilled in explaining the methodology behind this innovative sewing technique.

I would recommend this course to anyone because freehand sewing is an excellent skill to have whether you sew for pleasure or start a business.

Attending V.J Fashion Design Institute has been very inspirational for me. When I started I knew very little about sewing and before the end of my course the knowledge I attained was astonishing. Learning was very easy mainly because the teacher is exceptionally talented, patient and understanding. With a combination of these characteristics, one can only expect the very best result. I have and will continue to recommend this school to anyone who would like to take sewing as a hobby or to become a Professional Designer.

“I have learnt so much in such a short period of time that now I can make my own clothes. There is no need for me to buy patterns again. For a person like me who hardly knew anything about sewing, it means a lot to me to go to work in a self-made lined jacket. VJ teaches sewing in a unique way and explained everything in very easy and clear language.

“V.J Fashion Design Institute is an excellent school for anyone who enjoys fashion designing.Now a self-employed Fashion Designer, I am better able to design garments faster and more accurately for my clients. I have also enjoyed the opportunity of being an Instructor at this school after graduating from my program. I do not know of any other school that teaches Freehand Dressmaking quite like this one.

VJ Fashion Design Institute has made it possible for me to achieve my goal in dressmaking. I made many attempts to sew with patterns but I could never seem to finish what I have started. I signed up for the Freehand Fashion Design Course and not only did I learn to make various garments, I got the opportunity to learn without the use of commercial patterns. This is the best and I would recommend any one to this amazing course.
