About your Instructor(s):

Coco: Hi there! My name is Coco and I immigrated to Canada when I was very young. While I was growing up, I didn't have anybody to teach me sewing, so I decided to just teach myself. Over the past three years, I have really dedicated myself to building on my previous skills and learning as much as I possibly can about sewing. My sewing journey has taken me into garment making, quilting, pattern-making, alterations, and much much more. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you and helping you make the crazy (or boring) ideas in your head a reality and helping you to avoid some of the mistakes that I had to learn about the hard way. One fun little thing I like to say is that sewing is all about creatively stabbing the fabric in a way that achieves the functional and aesthetic goals of your project. See you in class!

Faezeh: Faezeh Maleki is a graduate of textile and fashion design. In her opinion, art means to depict, and this depiction is reflected by creativity in the composition of details. Faezeh believes that details are very important and give birth to the soul in artwork. She likes to think of art differently and loves to open a new window of the world of fashion for you. Also, she is excited to teach you a new way to become unique in your style and customize your garments.
