Creating ones own pattern is rather challenging, and unless you are trained to make patterns, a lot of things could go wrong!
Our design patterns aren't really rocket science and we were lucky enough to have minimal pattern skills and some knowledge. Not to mention, we had some patterns as a guide. On that day, we were discussing the patterns and still haven't reached the challenging part (yet!) of fully making them.

Over the summer, Zahra and Zinah use their time not only to relax from a vigorous year at Uni but also to develop their skills and explore the world of fashion and textiles.
There are many places and hidden gems around london where people can take short courses, meet like mined individuals and also express their creativity.
One of these places is the Fashion and Textiles Museum situated behind London Bridge in the heart of the fashionable Bermondsey Village. Zahra attended a four week Photoshop for designers course and gave it a big thumbs up!

A great fashion item is all about the design and fabric! Get the fabric wrong, and the design is ruined, so it's not really as easy as it sounds.
Fabric shopping can be pretty challenging at times, there are so many options, so many fabric blends, thickness etc. All that is very vital and can make or break a garment.

We went fabric sample shopping and it was challenging but fun.
