Fashion academy
Developing skills. Inspiring creativity. Shaping fashion futures.
Our students learn beside real bridal and fashion orders. You practise on treadle and electric machines, draft patterns from your own measurements and finish garments you can wear or sell.
We train students at all levels of learning, from complete beginners to tailors who want to move into bridal work. Classes are practical, small enough for individual attention, and finish with a graduation ceremony.
The topics below reflect what we teach. Durations, fees and start dates are confirmed on enquiry.
For complete beginners. Learn to take accurate body measurements, use and care for a sewing machine, and sew simple garments from start to finish.
Draft patterns from your own measurements, cut accurately and construct well-finished dresses, Ankara styles and men's wear.
Work with lace, tulle, satin and beadwork to make wedding gowns, bridal train dresses and occasion outfits, alongside the Nikjade bridal team.
Make bouquets, feather hand fans and finishing pieces that brides and bridal trains ask for.
Turn your skills into income: costing, pricing, customer service and running a small fashion business.
