Feedback:
KSOF is an absolutely amazing fashion School. Karen is patient, hard-working and a true professional. Our daughter loves going to class and continues to learn so much every week. Karen is her role model and we are so happy about that. We love KSOF.
Feedback:
For the past two years, KSOF has provided the most wonderful learning experience for my daughter. She enjoys every aspect of the class and seeing her excitement and confidence at the end of year showing off her clothes she made in the fashion show is so fun! Karen and her team not only teaches but encourages the students and I can’t belive how much my daughter has learned at KSOF. She builds a strong foundation for the kids and shows them the sky is the limit in the industry if they work hard and learn as much as possible. So glad we found this program and Karen!

Feedback:
My daughter has been going to KSOF in Marlboro for over a year now and absolutely loves it. I can’t say enough about how amazing Karen and her staff are. She is not only teaching them to sew in a friendly environment but she inspires them to be creative. The whole experience continues to be wonderful for my daughter, thanks Karen!!!
Feedback:
KSOF is great!! 3 years ago I signed my (then) 6 year old up for a Winter Break class. She made a skirt in 2 days!!! She and I were both so impressed that she continued on. This will be her third year sewing and she is still in love with it!! Karen and Claire are very caring and attentive teachers, giving the right amount of hands on assistance and room for independent work! My daughter is so proud to wear her creations for all to see!!
Feedback:
Karen is an amazing instructor! My daughter looks forward to her fashion class every week and enjoys her interactions with Karen and the other teens in the class. This is the place to go for fashion! Hands down!
Feedback:
I am self-taught at sewing, pattern-making, and draping. I've been making outfits for myself for almost 9 years! Upon my mother seeing the ad for Karen's School of Fashion in the local newspaper, she urged me to attend classes.I already knew how to do the basics, I was sure with time I'd become more proficient and as long as it looked good from the outside, the messed up cutting and sewing would be fine.Sewing classes would either be boring, for children, or below my assumed level. Besides, I wasn't too serious about it.However! Attending KSOF was a huge change for me.I didn't realize how little I knew about fashion and sewing.I went from being the most involved in my high-school fashion class, to relearning everything in a clean and professional manner.I used to make sewing patterns with newspaper, leave unraveling raw edges, and even make lop-sided outfits.Everything was utilitarian for me before I started taking KSOF classes. Now, if I had taken classes before, I wouldn't have wasted so much time, money, and fabric getting everything right. Even now, I'm making better, efficient choices when it comes to sewing, pattern-making, draping, and fashion.Now, when I speak to friends who have been in costuming contests, we can speak with the same vocabulary. I didn't know anything about interfacing or even sewing machine tension.The main teacher, Karen, is a wonderful person as well.She is always attentive to detail. She takes the time and care to help every single student with any questions, and even gathers the class around her demonstrations. While having the class watch her explain mistakes and teaching how to mend them can seem frightening, it is actually a great experience that makes myself and other students proud in our work and wish to do our best.In Karen's, and the other teachers', classes, every "mistake" is a positive opportunity to learn more.With my 9 years of sewing of very slowly learned proficiency, I eventually learned upon attending KSOF that it is best to work "smart" and not "hard".9 years of trial and error were not necessarily wasted, but I worked hard. I worked hard figuring out a few things on my own.Yet, to work "smart" is to be efficient and resourceful.Why push a boulder up a mountain when you can take a lift up the mountain? The goals are the same, the destinations are the same, the end results are the same. There is no reason to make things harder.KSOF is a great lift. I learned much more in 4 years of classes than all of my time spending effort instead of truly utilizing my resources.While some may take pride in being "self-taught", I take more pride in building a wonderful relationship with not only Karen and her teachers, but with creating art.Karen is a true professional with the best credentials in an independent sewing school within the tri-state area. I'm also an adult, and the mix of skill levels in classes is refreshing to touch upon fashion techniques that are forgotten or never picked up.I've been encouraged and taught to love crafting.One day, I want to make graphic art on fabric and cut and sew them into shirts. Of course, with KSOF's help!
Feedback:
My 10 year-old really enjoyed her experience here over several weeks during Summer 2016. It appeared to be a lot of fun and very, very creative. There was a capstone fashion show at the end of the session (I think it went week-to-week), where the kids "modeled" on a runway the fashions they designed. My only complaint is that the camps began at 10AM, and the building typically wasn't open for an early drop off before that. Starting any summer programming mid-morning is very inconvenient for working parents, particularly given the location of KSOF, which for us was way removed from our daily routines.
Feedback:
KSOF has been the best part of my daughter's life for over the past 5 years. She has learned so much and enjoys every minute of learning with Karen. Karen is an exemplary teacher. She builds on each students strengths and really encourages them to learn and grow. My daughter is always inspired and excited each week for class. Fashion has become a huge part of her life and Karen has too.
