Testimonials

My daughter and I did the pattern making course with Marlene Kuba. We have made many garments over the years. The best thing is you can copy an outfit you see in the shops. Highly recommended. - Rosanne Bright

I would like to reccommend New Zealand School of Fashion for anyone wishing to learn to sew and learn pattern making, or even just to increase your knowledge and skills. The tutor is Marlene Kuba who is such a great teacher, patient, kind and happy to re-explain details. - Anne Vorley

From a pencil skirt to a fully lined jacket. Without Marlene’s help and guidance that would have been an impossible task. Hours of fun and laughter …. and hard to believe….learning! – Ciara (only 16)
