PFI Mission Statement
Portland Fashion Institute is a nonprofit fashion design school with a mission to introduce creative people to the apparel skills they need to get a job or better job in the industry — or to simply enjoy a more productive life. We believe in a debt free education while promoting a diverse, progressive, sustainable and ethical industry. Our goals:
— Changing people’s lives. Making fashion dreams come true.
— Real skills, real jobs, real world knowledge
Each student will learn new skills as they work through projects of their choosing. We have many project options available at every level or you can bring your own ideas. Students work to try new techniques, build skills and gain independence with the guidance of the instructor.
Learn from our Unincorporated Streetwear Designers how to create the dopest hoodie while learning machine and sewing basics. Offered only this Fall/Winter season, this introductory three hour class is for students of all skill levels.
You will learn how to operate a home sewing machine, including how to thread your machine and start sewing your first few stitches! By the end of the class, you will leave with your very own hand-crafted item. You are welcome to use our machine for free or bring your own. No experience required.
During this course, students will be introduced to sewing equipment, tools, threads, needles and sewing trims. They will learn all the basic techniques for hand sewing, machine sewing, stitches and seam finishes, and become familiar with a professional vocabulary for sewing terms and definitions.
Students learn at their own pace and progressively gain confidence as their skill level grows with each project. Classes are taught in a creative and encouraging environment with small class sizes to ensure individual attention.
