The Fashion Institute is a non-credit program with evening and weekend classes offered to individuals to learn the art of sewing, pattern marking and fashion design. Our mission is to preserve the art and craft of fashion design by bringing together the best fashion industry professionals to teach lessons that inspire and educate students, home sewers and the fashion curious, to prepare them for any goal they have such as having their own clothing line, working in the fashion industry or just home sewing for themselves. This 12 course program covers each of the five fashion design disciplines of Sewing, Pattern Making, Fashion Design, Draping and Textiles in order to provide the students with the foundations they need to develop a career in the industry.
