I am amazed at the level of skill I have achieved since
attending these classes. I have constructed numerous garments that are
well-tailored and very flattering. It is such a wonderful feeling to
receive compliments on my clothes and to be able to
say I made them myself!

Mr. Stiles is an excellent instructor who takes time to work with you
one-on-one and is quick to respond to your concerns. He is enthusiastic about
his classes and eagerly shares his vast knowledge and expertise. I highly
recommend this class to anyone interested in sewing;
it is a rewarding and practical investment.

Dear Eric, I have attached my check for Saturday classes starting in January.
I hope I can get into the class. If there is no available seat, please put
me on the waiting list for Saturday classes.

While waiting, I will continue taking your classes at OAKTON on Thursday night.
I plan to be your student until I learn everything from you. I really enjoy you classes.

No one is held back, no one is rushed.

demonstrations. I am interested in taking more classes.

There's so much to learn and so much you think you know and find out
you don't. Even if you've sewn before this course is essential to
get rid of bad habits, as well as, teaching you new concepts.

I've found that everything is paced for you. You are the person
who learns and you've never rushed. THANK YOU !
