2-As for patterns, do you get Vogue/McCall/Simplicity/Butterick patterns there? They have modern designs, but yeah it's never an exact fit.
3-And yeah it's a lot of work, making the pattern is the hard part for me, sewing it is easy because most of the main work is done by then and it's just connecting the pieces.
4-That's good that you're taking a class though.

1-No they werent too slippery, it was ok, n thanks for the compliments
.
2-We have one sewing matierials shop in town and they have two pattern books. im sure its one or two of those names. But it could be that they just have a book and/ patterns from yonks ago. i just looked at simplicity online. i liked a few things, but i still felt that styles were *slightly* older agewise (as in i dont see a lot of stuff that i could see sold at shops where i shop like H&M, new look etc), but there were some i thought were okay or adaptable at least. But yeah i guess i should look around online more, i might find something..thanks for the names
3- sewing could also be the hard bit at times, if you make a mistake, you have to spend half your time unpicking it! but in a way, thats what i like about sewing, i learn from my mistakes everytime because i dont want to be sat there unpicking for hours!
4- i went to enroll in class today. Its over two years which i didnt realise untill today coz it wasnt explained clearly anywhere before, so it'll be running through my third year of uni..so i dont know if i'll be able to keep it up all that time. But to be honest i dont mind [that much] if im unable to finish, coz my main rason for doing the course it to get my skills up to a better standard. course fees are £156 which isnt bad, for 70 3hr sessions. the tutor was really nice and friendly and funny. the fashion department is gross though. it looks like a factory/ prison
. theres dark green dusty small corridors
, and a room for cutting, for machines, one with mannequins etc . But alhamdulillah im glad i got in and am doing this now. i'll see how it goes..
