The Cut Fashion Academy

I work at an alternate school in Coquitlam and reached out to Cut Design after seeing an ad for a summer workshop, as we were interested in having a make up workshop for some of our students who would not otherwise have an experience like this. Liza was super responsive and accommodating and we brought 4 of our students to the Academy for a 3.5 hour workshop. The students were enthralled the whole time. The instructor was great with the students; she was engaging and informative and answered all of their enthusiastic questions. And the free product was the icing on the cake for this crew. We hope to continue this again next year with another group of interested students :-) Thank you!

I cannot RECOMMEND The Cut Fashion Academy HIGHLY ENOUGH , and the core reason is the phenomenal teaching trio of Julie, Komal, and Hien. They are, without exaggeration, the heart and soul of an outstanding curriculum. Each teacher is EXCELLENT in their own way: · Julie helps you TO BE creative. She encourages your own ideas and helps you see what is possible. Her feedback is always positive and helpful. · Komal teaches you the skills. She is very clear, patient, and pays close attention to the drawing details. · Ms Hien was our substitute teacher at The Cut Fashion Academy. She was excellent. She explained everything clearly and made the EACH lessons easy to understand. She was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. Together, they give you the perfect learning experience. They are not just teachers; they truly care about helping every student succeed. Because of them, my skills and confidence grew so much. If you want to learn fashion, you should study with Julie, Komal, and Hien at The Cut. Thank you the Cut Fashion Academy, for everything! ❤️

I took the 2 week intensive sewing course at the Cut Academy & had such a great time. Komal with the help of Justine taught the class through out the 2 weeks. We made a pillow, tote bag, crewneck, and button of shirt. We also learned different types of stitching, zippers, and other basics. It was very informative and I feel confident to take some of these skills home and continue to build on them. However, I do wish we had one more class because we didn’t finish our button up shirts! The small size class was a bonus, we were able to get lots of hands on help individually. Recommend 10/10 and totally worth the $. Had a great & positive experience!

I took the 2-week pattern making intensive, it was the perfect class to take my sewing hobby up a notch. The classes were small and intimate. We learned how to create blocks for a skirt, pants and a bodice. You have lots of time to perfect each block. Our teacher was Frederique and he was amazing. He clearly loves constructing clothes and sharing his knowledge. He wanted us to succeed and come away with a good knowledge base. You really get out what you put into these classes. The 4 hours fly by. I found that i ended up doing 4-5 hours of homework before each class and that set me up to learn and absorb more. I must stress that the teacher is what made this class, without the proper leadership we wouldn't have received the top quality instruction that we did. I feel more confident moving forward and hope to come back and take a few more classes when I am ready.

I had the privilege of attending The Cut Design Academy for the Pattern Making and Assembling Techniques Certificate. This program helped me tremendously in beginning my career as a pattern maker and seamstress. Along the way, I was lucky enough to make lifelong friends as well! Liza truly goes above and beyond for her students, not just during the program, but long after. She’s always there to offer guidance, support, and opportunities, making The Cut a special place to learn and grow. I highly recommend The Cut to anyone looking for an academy with intimate classes, exceptional instructors, and a place where you’ll always feel welcome to return.
