    ABOUT THE TEACHERS


    The sewing course will be taught by Aisha and Jerry, two The Hague Based professionals, who alternate our classes. 

    Aisha: “After school, she studied at the Modevakschool, but afterwards she ended up in the corporate world after school. However, the passion for sewing was never lost and she realized she wanted to turn her hobby into her profession. 

    Soon after she started. Aisha, influenced by socials developments towards a circular economy, started wondering about her own fashion footprint. This is where she started her own up cycle atelier, where she can pour in her creativity into a more sustainable way of making. Simultaneously she is back now at the Modevakschool, this time to finish up getting her teaching degree.”

    Jerry: “I'm a late starter when it comes to sewing, but I was always curious.

    From an early age I wanted to be a fashion designer, everything in my life turned out a little differently. However the passion for fashion (and how it’s made) never faded.
    My sewing journey really started in 2019, when I wanted to make something that I couldn't find in the store. And when I finally found it, the quality was so poor that I decided at that moment that I‘d better make it myself. So naturally, I immediately ordered a sewing machine.
    Of course I was completely inexperienced and knew nothing about presser feet or fabrics. I had absolutely no clue what to do with my newly bought sewing machine!

    Still, I took that first step and have never looked back. It is relaxing for me, and every moment of spare time I like to spend with my machine.
    I really enjoyed it so much, that I decided to enroll the Modevakschooll, to continue learning new techniques (by hand and machine) that will keep me on my toes!“
