 She teaches in a way that’s easily understood while respecting our individual design aesthetics and ensuring we maintain couture level detailing and construction.

 I was utterly thrilled to discover that not only was Mrs. Kamran's school capable of teaching me to make my own patterns, her skill and expertise were stellar.

This school and what I learned in it has been a major feature in my current and future plans.  Now I live in Reno, NV, and I have had to scale my clientele down because of the amount and type of work I have received.
