Fashion Design Course

Antara hand sewing lace to the Tshirt

            

Antara's design process involves exploring colours, style, fabrics & trimmings.

All appliques are hand stitched by Antara. The final project was put together with some help on the sewing machine with shoulder & side seams.

Well done .....  Antara !!

 

Sweet Antara  has progressed well with her craft. She sent me a recent photo of her creation with this email note -

'Hi Miss Cindy, I would like to say thank you for all you did to help me pursue fashion at such an early age. 

From that I have now gone on to making my very own top! I hope you like it.'

Once again well done Antara! You are on your way to fulfilling your  dreams of becoming a fashion designer.
