โ€œI just wanted to say thank you so much for meeting up with me on Wednesday. I had such a fabulous day and really appreciated your tips and advice. I gained potential new revenue stream by asking how I could benefit an existing supplier. So thankyou once again for the pep talk as it really helped me to step out just that little bit more. โ€œ Dionne Ible, Qemamu Mosaics

"It was really nice to spend four hours with Imtaz on a skirt pattern cutting. She was very patient and responsive to every question I asked. Thanks again for the lesson!" Chris Cai

User

"Imtaz is a skilled teacher, who is patient and attentive to her students' needs. I came to her with a special request to teach me how to draft a block from scratch, as I was not taught this skill at fashion college and she tailored the class accordingly. I was very inspired and motivated after chatting with her and looking through her workbooks. She even made me some lovely lunch which was so kind of her. The class has been very beneficial and I will definitely be booking more to help me with my second year at college." D. Fernanda Pedrao

User

"Imtaz is very warm and welcoming and I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with someone who has so much skill and experience. I booked a one day course to refresh some pattern skills and did not leave disappointed." Lisa King-Scott

User

"I had a wonderful day with Imtaz. I learnt how to create a skirt toile and when I put it on, it fitted brilliantly. I also learnt a lot of tips from Imtaz which you can't find in books. I will definitely book another day with her." Angela Kneale

I was lucky enough to have a one day class with Imtaz on Monday. Imtaz really knows her stuff. She understands pattern making inside and out and importantly, can communicate this at the level needed. She has a lovely manner-I think she she must be a fine woman, inside and out.

I was so pleased to have the chance to snoop inside several of her creations. Wonderful haute couture standard of making-I think a jacket from her would fit beautifully and feel luxurious indeed.

I love her designs-elegant, a touch quirky but never garish.

User

I spent a wonderful day with Imtaz - I learnt so much as she is a very good teacher and showed me some really clever ways of taking my dressmaking to the next level through creating my own patterns etc - I couldn't believe i could learn all that in one day. All I have to do now is put it into practice!

User

I spent 5 days with Imtaz, where we drafted pattern pieces and made a toile of the 1975 YSL 'Le Smoking' double-breasted jacket. Working one-to-one with Imtaz has been more fulfilling and holistic than learning in a classroom, and has helped further my understanding in the construction and shaping of a suit, she has also given me greater insight into the industry of bespoke tailoring and fashion. Imtaz is a wonderful individual who is exceptionally skilled in her craft, I would definitely recommend taking up a course with her!

User

I recently went on the four hours course, not knowing what to expect in the short amount of time. My background is fashion and I wanted to setup my own business. Seeing how much experience and tailoring background Imtaz has, the course appealed to me to take the leap.

Imtaz has a wealth of knowledge which most people who have it donโ€™t share their. She is transparent and genuine in helping me to make my vision a reality. This has been such a good money and time invested, as itโ€™s for my future.



Look forward to provide feedback once my business is setup, as I now believe that I will.



Thank you for your kindness Imtaz ๐Ÿค—

I recently spent 4 hours at Imtaz as I needed some ideas on pattern making, promoting my business and pricing my work. Imtaz was very encouraging and inspuring, and gave me many practical suggestions. + a great soop.

Thank you Imtaz.

User

I recently had the chance to spend a day with Imtaz on a pattern cutting course after a decision to re-ignite my interest in dressmaking. In the space of four hours, Imtaz taught me the skills of how to create and adapt patterns to make the fabric fit perfectly (and the importance of pressing!). Imtaz is a fantastic teacher and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her and hope to be able to do more courses in the future.

I have just spent a great week with Imtaz. She is a very warm, friendly and knowledgeable lady. I learned a lot in my week, the pattern making was may favourite part. i can't wait to get going using the book she recommended. It was lovely to spend an indulgent week just absorbing her wealth of knowledge that she freely shares with her students. I would definitely recommend a course with Imtaz.

User

I have just completed a 20 day course with Imtaz where I learnt the art of pattern cutting, fitting and then sewing the complete garments. I made the following: a tailored skirt, dress and softly tailored jacket. I also went away with a trouser pattern and top patterns, pluss plenty of ideas for garments to flatter my figure, this in itself was a revelation for me and I now feel a lot more confident about choosing and creating garments. I was lucky enough to find a local B&B which was perfect, Imtaz also introduced me to the local yoga centre where I had a try at the art of meditation. Well home again in Norway I can only say how much I thoroughly enjoyed this whole indulgent experience. Thankyou Imtaz.



So if you are looking to take your sewing skills to the next level - what are you waiting for? - go ahead and book.

I had such an informative day with Imtaz -having been designing wedding dresses for the past 6 years I wanted to gain a better understanding of pattern cutting. Imtaz gave me all the info I needed and it was a great opportunity to gain insider knowledge from one of the best with all her years of experience.

User

I had 5 days with Imtaz and I can say that it was an experience I have anticipated for so many years. I had contemplated taking a sewing class for a very long time and I finally made up my mind to do it when I came across Imtaz on google. I learned so much within the 5 days, made a skirt, a top and a trouser. Imtaz is excellent at what she does and has a way of making you feel very comfortable. My family were quite impressed with what I made and infact I believe I am not finally done with Imtaz yet. I will recommend her to anyone anyday anytime.

I graduated from LCF studying men's bespoke tailoring and have worked on savile row for Maurice Sedwell. I have been doing the 20 day course with Imtaz and learning so much more then I could ever have imagined - learning so much in such a short period of time. I came here to learn pattern cutting and womenswear couture. I have already finished a dinner jacket and have made a number of patterns for my new collection combining womenswear and menswear. Imtaz has made it so much clearer. She goes at your pace, demonstrates well, and has a unique design method for tailoring. I have learnt these skills so fast that I have been able to work on my own collections.

User

I did a three day course personalised to what I wanted to learn and I can say I've left with a world of advice and tips from Imtaz that'll really help me progress further in my existing business. A lovely lady, open to sharing all her wisdom with others. Would thoroughly recommend those who'd like to further their skills, to book with Imtaz. She's my tailoring Guru and I'd definitely come back for more training.

User

I booked a one day personal tuition course with Imtaz and learned how to measure and cut a patten for a tailored skirt. Imtaz is a facinating skilled individual who is very patient and made me feel at ease as a novice that Iam! I will be booking more lessons to make my dream dress. Thanks Imtaz :)

User

I arranged series of trainings with Imtaz for my team of tailors and they absolutely loved it! Imtaz has a great experience to share.

User

I am studying finance in Imperial and previously had no knowledge in sewing and pattern-making at all. Imtaz is very good at teaching me in a fun way. I can customize what lesson that I would like to take, and it is great as I can gain exactly what I want. She is very patient and detailed in explaining each steps so even I have no previous background can follow it easily. Also, she is very welcome to any question that I have. Overall, I am happy with the course :)

User

Had a wonderful experience with imtaz consulting her for starting my collection and teaching me how to draft patterns , edit the patterns and create the item. Extensive knowledge in both fashion making and fashion business. Lovely temperament , imtaz will teach you so youโ€™re able to teach your self like all the greatest teachers do. Would recommend to everyone and anyone !

User

Another year passed with yet another dress created by Imtaz for me. I can't stop admiring Imtaz's timeless creations, most classic and elegant dresses. I am taking this opportunity to wish you, dear Imtaz, further inspiration for 2016, success in your creative work and ever growing list of your admirers. With best regards, Annie

A 10 day course @ Imtaz, many cups of tea and philosophical discussions later... I have come away with a stunning tailored dress and wrap skirt and most of all with the confidence to make my own creations and bespoke wardrobe! I feel liberated! After this experience I feel it's a must to have a one to one to gain thorough pattern drafting skills, Thank you Imtaz! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ
