KFLY Studio in Seattle is a slow fashion design and education space located in Belltown since 2014.
Since teaching with Seattle Fashion Academy (13yrs) and Path With Art (5yrs) KFLY decided to teach her own quick learning classes in her studio to help people get over some of the early challenges so they may bedazzle, sew and craft whatever their hearts desire.
We know that creating is a fun, vulnerable, healing and rewarding process, and it brings community together while learning skills we can take out into the world to share our expressions... or just fix our clothes with.
We hope you come and join us for a class or two, and if there's something special you'd like to learn just drop us a line via the "contact KFLY" button.
Happy Creating,
KFLY
