What course did you study on and why did you choose it?
Over Summer School I attended two intensive one week courses. The first one was Patternmaking – Level 1 and the second was Building a Fashion Collection. As a designer I want to ensure I have as many skills as I can, so I thought that these courses would open up the boundaries of my understanding of fashion design.
What did you enjoy most about your courses?
The materials to work from and with, that both teachers gave us, and professionalism of each course!
