The workshops were great, the kids learned very useful skills such as how to use the sewing machine, and they loved the opportunity to create their own clothing from scratch. Thank you! Also the end of project fashion show was a brilliant way to finish off and for the children to show off their very impressive creations

The workshops provided by Natalia & Nataliya were a resounding success throughout the school. Not only did the Year Six pupils taking part thoroughly enjoy the process, having fun and learning a great deal, but the whole school totally loved the Fashion Show event held at the end of the course. Both pupils and parents were thrilled with the finished products and we look forward to more courses for our children next year. NA Fashion Club is highly recommended.

This term Nataliya & Natalia have been working with a group of year 9 students. The main focus of the group was to inspired the students with the world of fashion and encourage them to be creative and produce a fashion garment starting from the pattern template to the finished product. Nataliya & Natalia arrived each week ready to work and inspire the students with the next stage of their production. The resources they used to introduce the project were professional and suitable for the chosen age group. They were clearly knowledgeable and this was evident through the tasks they set the students. All students created a paper pattern template of a skirt fitting their own measurements and then continued onto fabric selection, fabric cutting and machine stitching. This was an enjoyable and rewarding project for the students. The end goal was to create the skirt which could then be worn and modelled at the Technology Exhibition. All students were given a make-up and hair session followed by photo shoot. (All organised by Nataliya & Natalia) I personally found the ladies very easy to work with, they did exactly what they set out to do and it was real pleasure to work with such an enthusiastic team. They clearly have a lot of ideas and I would confidently recommend them to other schools.
