Let’s talk about clothes!! Specifically, drafting patterns and making glorious original clothes!
I found this course whilst idly Googling a few days ago, and hours later I was enrolled in the last-but-one place, Tuesday and Thursday nights. What’s even more exciting is that my Etsy friend Hayley saw my Facebook update, and hours later she was enrolled too!
I’ve got almost all the stuff required (there is a loooooooong equipment list and I’ve had to re-purchase many items I already have in the ‘domestic’ version) and I can’t wait! It starts tonight! Bounce bounce bounce… it’s going to be quite a change from grad school.

Oh, and I meant to say before, PhD SchmeehD.
