Well, the cost can vary depending on where you take classes, but Disha Fashion Institute offers a reasonable fee of only 700/- per month for the basic tailoring course.

This certificate may be necessary if you're seeking a tailoring job in a manufacturing company, fashion house, or government enterprise. However, if you're only looking to gain knowledge to set up your own business, then you can skip the certification.

Apart from the course fee, you'll need to buy cotton fabric for practice and some tailoring tools which can be bought from our school. The fabric cost is significant but you can use your old cotton clothes for practice, and while learning, you'll be making clothes for yourself and your family members which saves on buying new clothes.

The major cost for learning tailoring is buying a tailoring machine. The cost of a machine can vary greatly depending on the type of machine and its features. It's important to buy a machine based on your actual needs, and not overspend on a machine with features you won't use. If you already have an iron base sewing machine, you can fit a motor for heavy use instead of buying a new machine.

There are many aspects to consider before buying a machine, and we're here to help you make the best choice. So, if you're interested in pursuing a career in tailoring, we encourage you to join our basic tailoring course at Disha Fashion Institute. With a reasonable course fee and proper guidance from our experts, you can gain valuable skills to start your own tailoring business and achieve financial independence.
