About Nehzat Houshan

Nehzat Houshan has 50+ years sewing and 25+ years teaching experience and is the instructor and creator of The Sewing Workshop in Toronto.

eSewingWorkshop was created by Nehzat to share her love for creating and sewing. Her workshop is where inspiration and ideas flow through, enabling students to discover their talents.

Nehzat grew up in a family that has been working in the fields of art and fashion; giving her a flaming passion to create throughout her life. Having obtained a bachelor’s degree in fine arts – design and sculpture – in Italy, has given Nehzat the ability to fully understand the human figure when it comes to designing and creating attire.

From the young age of four sewing became Nehzat's loved hobby, when she started to sew garments for her own, sister's and cousin's dolls. At ten years old she began to sew her own garments with the help and guidance of her mother. Afterward she received private professional tutoring from her aunt who had an institute in the fashion field.

From 1977 to 1987 she thought sculpting and design in a visual art high school, giving her professional teaching experience.

Her passion for sewing remained throughout Nehzat's life until 1987 when it became her profession. She started sewing custom made Haute Couture for clients in Rome and then in Toronto, where she setup her own studio boutique called Exclusive Designs. Now Nehzat wants to pass on her knowledge and experiences to other aspiring female students.

Nehzat’s background and many years experience in teaching will help students achieve their goals and realize their imagination. Nehzat will support students in creating unique garments and accessories. Years of experience in designing and making various garments in Italy and Canada enables Nehzat to provide you with a professional class environment, helping you select appropriate materials and styles.

Nehzat is also the instructor for SewingWorkshop.ca - Sewing Classes and Lessons in Toronto.
