The Fashion School

My son loves his weekly class at The Fashion School. The teachers are great. His interest in fashion is taken seriously and nurtured. He loves illustrating new ideas and practicing his sewing skills at home between sessions. The ability to work towards an Arts Award during the course is a huge bonus. Highly recommended.

My daughter had been wanting to do a class like this for ages and since day one, has thoroughly enjoyed it and been thrilled at the things she has made and learnt. Caroline is such a warm, caring and fun teacher which makes the class even more enjoyable. I have loved seeing my daughter coming home brimming over with creative enthusiasm at everything she is learning and making. Highly recommend for anyone, adults and children.

My daughter loves every second of her fashion workshops. She has been attending holiday workshops for 2 years and I am always so impressed with how much she learns, and how beautifully her garments turn out! Thank you again Caroline and team.

My daughter has absolutely loved the sewing class. She created the most amazing bucket hat and now wants to become a fashion designer. She is thriving and so full of enthusiasm and counts down the days until the next class. Thank you for creating this magical space for our children to learn and develop their skills.

My daughter loves attending the Fashion School & learning how to design, pattern cut, sew & create her own unique garments. Great teachers, lovely setting, beautiful location, well-connected with the fashion world & valuing sustainable fashion.

Fashion School is such a great place for children to learn - my daughter has loved the holiday classes, and is really looking forward to the work Fashion School is going to do with her school. Caroline is simply brilliant – she gets the balance of enthusiasm, skill and respect just right. All the other staff are lovely too – all know their stuff and are great role models as to what’s good about sewing. The children really learn how to sew, think and design independently. It’s incredibly empowering to be able to make and adapt your own clothes, and I’ve seen my daughter’s confidence, skill and interest grow. We are so lucky to have Fashion School here, it’s a fantastic local resource. I love it - I want to sign up for a class myself!

My 8 year old daughter and her friends had a wonderful couple of hours learning how to use a sewing machine and designing and making tote bags. They were so happy and excited with their creations when we picked them up and we will definitely be returning for more classes as soon as we can!

My daughter and I attended an awesome sewing workshop during the summer, focusing on sustainability and recycling. It was the first experience of this kind for my 6 yo daughter, she really enjoyed it, and she would like to attend other similar classes and/or workshops. Thank you Caroline and your brilliant team!

My 10 year old son has always loved fashion and very much had his own style. I thought joining the ‘ready to wear’ class would be a great way for him to express himself. He absolutely loved the classes and turns out to be quite handy on a sewing machine. After 12 weeks he produced a top and a pair of shorts.. made from scratch! Such a proud moment. He has since graduated to the next class up which is concentrating on design and fabric. He feels challenged each week and truly excited about what he is learning and achieving. We are thrilled he found The Fashion school!

Fashion School, what an amazing place! - my son had a wonderful time doing the Mother and Child workshop. The place is amazing and the teachers are very professional. Their skill teaching kids is awesome. He really learnt how to sew and we are already practicing what we've learned at home. We will definitely be back.
