Creative Pause

Since being back in Melbourne, things have been like a roller coaster...


Finding work, reverse culture shock, new living arrangements and more....


Occasionally, I've taken the family dog for a walk...


It's helped me to gather my thoughts...


And helped me to get my creativity back.

Goals - Study Patternmaking



One of my other goals for this year was to study pattern making. Last week, I completed a five week introductory course in pattern making at CAE in Melbourne. Although the course was short, I did get a lot from it, and enjoyed it enough to want to study this further on a 'hobby' level.

The Melbourne School of Fashion offers a part-time course in pattern making and garment construction which runs for just under a year. I think it would be difficult to juggle work and the course since it requires a lot study and practice outside of school hours. However, it is something I am considering doing next year should I have the finances.
