Welcome to Silent Sewing Academy

Hey! I’m Zuhaira, and our lessons at Silent Sewing Academy were never silent!😂
From the random life advice Mrs A gave us to making connections with everyone in the class, as well as just silly and funny moments in general, I had a blast and learnt much more than sewing!!

Since I’ve been coming to SSA, I’ve become more confident in myself and my skills🌸. Not only do you learn sewing skills but you also socialize with some amazing women❤️. Mrs. A is always cheerful and willing to help us even after we’ve made the same mistake about 10 times🙈

Assalaamualaikum / Hi

Through the blessing of our Creator. All praise is due to our Creator.

I searched for sewing classes and came across Silent Sewing Academy for my daughter. I decided to join my daughter Khadeejah for the classes. I have not looked back and have no regrets. Actually I am very grateful to Mrs A as she goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable. Mrs A has a lot of patience and she has made my daughter who is very young feel a lot more confident in going forward. Silent Sewing Academy is by far one of the best Sewing courses I have come across to date. Considering how much you learn, the amount for the course and the confidence you have by the time you are done. This was one of the best decision we have made.

May the Almighty always bless Mrs A and her family for all the sacrifice they have made and May the Almighty grant Mrs A the best of both worlds Aameen.

I have learnt so much from not knowing how to thread a sewing machine to sewing my own clothes
Thank you Mrs A for your patience and all you have taught me
U are amazing

They say that it’s never to late to accomplish anything…..

In standard 6….way back when, my Housecraft teacher said I was going to fail because I couldn’t sew.

Years and years later I looked at a bucket list I had written and there it was…’Learn to Sew’…
So I made an appointment with Mrs A… No Place she said, but I’ll make a plan… And a plan she did make… completed 3 modules with this amazing, patient lady. Had a blast. Not only did I learn to sew and amazingly so… I also got great recipes, funny anecdotes and an awesome friend for life.

Thanks Mrs A….
Love you….mwah

My time spent with Silent Sewing Academy and Aunty Farhana will forever remain the best moments of my life. I would always look forward to classes and learning from such a humble yet talented woman. Sewing became my escape from all problems and helped my channel my energy into something productive. Not only did I learn sewing skills, but also life skills from Aunty Farhana. In the short time that I have known her, she became a motherly figure in my life and I am eternally grateful.

Upon taking early retirement from a very challenging career after 30 years, I felt sure I had exhausted my ability to learn anything new. My daughter-in-law gave me Module 1 as a gift as I had expressed my regret that I wished I could sew myself clothes as I was never satisfied with store bought ones.

When my journey with SSA began, little did I realise that here I would not only learn to sew, I was launched into a real world with diverse cultures and people from all walks of life. Each one sharing a common goal to empower themselves. At the helm was our teacher and mentor, Farhana, who, with so much patience and knowledge, took us through our lessons. After each lesson, we grew more confident and excited to boast our progress with each finished garment. By the time my 16 lessons were finished, I felt elated but sad that it was over. I now knew that I needed to continue my journey as there was so much more I could do and how empowered I felt that I could now sew garments, start to finish, in just 16 lessons.

I enrolled for the next module and can confidently say that I am able to sew, not only for myself, but others as well. I never imagined that would have been possible but all credit goes to Farhana for her unending patience and unfaulting positivity. Her words of wisdom and guidance, together with that bubbly personality, really made me look forward to every lesson. I still miss our times together. If anything, it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. When comparing, I spent 30 years in a career I walked away from but felt so empowered in 16 weeks of lessons. Farhana’s willingness to adapt the course and lessons to suit our needs really helped us achieve our personal goals, not forgetting how much I now save tailor-making my own clothes.
