Perfect! She’s wonderful! Will book her again
Perfect! Oko is so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. I learned so much, just from one lesson. I highly recommend her!
Perfect! Oko is an incredible teacher. She is patient, kind, detail oriented, did I say patient? She has a wonderful energy around her, she is fun to sew with. I am so fortunate to have found her. If you are learning how to sew as a hobbyiest or a student in Fashion Design she will teach you how to sew efficiently and help you get your projects done. She is a natural teacher, and an incredible sewer. I adore her!
- Michelle is an amazing lady with a big heart. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and had so much fun while we’re at it. Business minded and creative, with starting her sustainable activewear line, I fully support her and have no doubt she’ll succeed! I had such a good time collaborating that I made a good friend instead of being a teacher to a student!Oko's response :
Perfect! Oktyabri is fantastic, her knowledge, skills, experience and patience are superior to all. I couldn’t believe my fortune to have Oktyabri come to my home to help and teach me how to adjust a pattern to fit my project perfectly. I have sewn for years, but what Oko taught me was invaluable, she is precise in every aspect of teaching yet very calm and kind when a correction is needed. Oko arrives on time and her lesson (help) starts immediately . I will definitely ask Oko for more lessons in the future. With her help I attempted a level of altering I never dreamed possible. She showed me how to tape a dress form to make a pattern from muslin. Adjustments after adjustment was made until I had a pattern that fit my daughter perfectly. Like I said, her level of expertise and perfection is remarkable. Oko is a joy to be with, work with and know. I highly recommend Oktyabri, you’ll learn more than you can imagine. Thank you Oko for all your help
- Dodie is an amazing student that has strong sewing skill. I helped her with pattern making and she was able to construct a beautiful costume! We are planning to collaborate more and continue to develop her pattern making skills. Looking forward working with her soon:)Oko's response :

Ms Oktayabri was an outstanding teacher. She taught me various patterns and basic crochet and knitting skills. i’ve more in one session than I have trying to learn on my own. Learning from her gave me the motivation I needed to get out of my comfort zone and to explore other artistic skills like tailoring my clothes, crocheting a pillow, etc. She’s very patient with her students and gives the best explanations for any circumstances.
Excellent teacher! She is knowledgeable, kind and patience! Wonderful teacher! I have learned a lot from her!
Ooohh yes she is wonderfull teacher have lot experiencia
Oktyabri is really good in teaching and she has a lot of patience. She makes sure to understand the lesson and she makes very easy the concept of fashion. I really recommend her classes, after all she knows a lot of fashion, and she knows a lot about Haute couture.
Oktyabri is excellent instructor Who is very acknowledged with the high-end couture especially with gowns wedding and very blessed to get to know him as a teacher or instructor and also very good with detailing in terms of beading appliqués I’m blessed that I found him and I was able to learn more in terms of pattern , draping e.t.c thank you
I have worked with Oktyabri in the past and her skills were incomparable to everyone else’s work. She would definitely be the perfect teacher! All knowledge on simple pieces to intricate gown making comes as second nature to her. Oko’s many years of experience are seen in all her work as they are very precise and clean. She is also very easy to communicate with and very understanding, which would make her the perfect teacher!
