Blessed Chritmas To All!
December 30th 2006 -
As years go by, I realised that there were lesser and lesser of Christmas spirit in me. Back then, I used to do Christmas shopping, send Christmas greetings, join my friends for Christmas carolling and partying. But now, seems like everyone has their own individual plans. Well, I was pretty busy during the whole month of December. Due to the long break before my Degree program begin, I decided to take part time fashion design courses at IFTC. Reasons? Firstly, I don’t wish to waste time sitting at home doing nothing, secondly, I have always wanted to own a design line of my own and thirdly, most of the clothes in the market could not fit my small frame therefore why not I design and make one that fit me perfectly.
You may wonder why I choose IFTC among the other famous fashion school. I did some survey months before I enrol and found out that IFTC courses are the cheapest among the others, it offers flexible timetable for part time students and have a lot of practical hands on experience. Besides, even the well-known Bernard Chandran was a former student of IFTC. Anyway, most other fashion school around only provide full time courses and their fee are much higher. Imagine if the fee itself already cost a boom, what more your cloths and sewing material that yet to be added. The fee was my main concern because I didn’t want to burden my parents on the financial side, knowing that my younger brother will be entering college some where next year or so and I still have mu IT degree to complete.
Within a month of learning, I’ve learn a lot in terms of pattern making and designing. I’ve made myself a skirt (it looks horrible because it was my first attempt), two dresses (one long and short) and a kebaya. Somehow I enjoyed being at IFTC rather that going back to my college. Haha…
Anyway, have a look at my red dress which I made just in time for Christmas.
It’s not 100% perfect but good enough for a beginner like me. Mum did complain that I made it too short. I wanted it short, but didn’t expect it to be that short.
