I can never imagine how a hands-on sewing course can be conducted online, but this course changed my whole perception. The instructors were helpful, patient and meticulous in their observations. Yixin and Gini maintained the high standards of their trade which were amazing and it ensured that we learnt and made our garments according to the best standards. Well done ladies!! I also like that TaF.tc provided the course materials and machines promptly before the course start. Very well managed and organised. Would definitely be joining more TaF.tc courses!
Alan and Gini are both very talented, knowledgeable, dedicated and passionate in their craft. They are really patient and are accommodating to each students' needs and requests. They also go the extra mile to help me when I was far behind in following the lessons.
Fantastic job to Gini, Chee Seng and the team for running this course with so much dedication despite the new challenge of having to run everything online. Despite occasional hiccups on the technical parts, most parts of the course were run smoothly. The video set-up for sewing/drafting demonstrations was sufficient and effective. Gini is incredibly patient despite having to deal with a multitude of challenges faced by students (also a Super Super kind person)! Chee Seng is also very proactive in ensuring that all our concerns are addressed and well taken care of.
