“I was looking for a sewing class. What I got was an instructor who is passionate about what she does, a wealth of knowledge on using my own machine, and a hands on lesson on how to sew properly.”
Elizabeth G.
“ Walking into Faraj Couture was the best decision I could’ve made for my creative career. Princess is an amazing and very knowledgeable instructor, i walked in with very little to no experience and after my first 8 weeks I was already putting together multiple outfits on my own outside of class.“
