if you intend on going to fashion school youd better be sewing NOW.
So maybe you could make your own clothes?
Edit and recreate vintage clothing.
Buy cheap fabrics and learn patterns.
Sew patches onto existing clothing you own or alter it.
If you arent sewing now then your chances of attending a reputable fashion school are greatly reduced. you need to bring completed samples or a portfolio of pieces youve done to a real school, maybe not if its one of those joke institutions advertised during daytime telly. its hard work. so if you have a basis of creative sewing already your schooling will not only help you blossom but will be way easier than going in without knowing how to fill a bobbin....
Ive done it, i run my own label now and it was a struggle getting here.
school in the arts is difficult. anyone who tells you otherwise hasnt gone.
if you ever have sewing questions let me know
i can definitely advize
