You’re welcome to take any one (or more!) of our 50+ classes, all taught by industry professionals, just for fun. You don’t have to sign up for a Certificate Program to learn here. We teach many skill levels, so we do recommend you start with the level you’re at and then progress from there. At PFI, all of our instructors are in the apparel industry which makes them a great resource to learn from (and fun to know!). Below are the popular areas of study for people taking classes for fun.

• Sewing Classes – Get the basics of sewing and get started on the projects of your dreams. Our teachers are pros who know the latest industry tips and tricks from beginning sewing to leatherworking.
• Fashion Design Classes – Learn to draw fearlessly by hand. Then go digital. Share your vision with the world.
• Patternmaking Classes – You can’t make a garment without a pattern. It’s your guide to go from idea to reality. Start with paper and fabric. Move up to 2D and 3D.
• Apparel Business Classes – Be the boss and earn a living from your creativity. Learn the jargon, the people, the process and the path to success.
