Story Of Getting Into Fashion Design (Q+A me)

[Anediaa]

Im polish and i understood every single word so really i dont think theres anything wrong with your accent, its prefect. Btw your story is really inspiring and even if it seemed long so interesting! Makes me like you even more. Im not really into fashion more into make up nut still really great to hear about your experiences.

[LOSTMYKEYBOARD]

Thanking you! Yeah i will do! xxx

[LOSTMYKEYBOARD]

Very inspiring! im about to start uni for fashion design hopefully and would love to see your portfolio, any chance? i applied for ECA also, but i think a year at college would do me good! xxxx

@LOSTMYKEYBOARD

Hey, thank you for your tips. I am actually very interested in getting to know more about you and you work. I am a soon to be BA in International Business students who is passionate about starting a career in business. I am intending to surf around in the UK from the beginning of next year and work in collaboration with designers and stylists. I wonder if you are interested.

Darling, you are going to be BIG!

It seemed the background music was competing with your accent?

[carolynbax]

@heart4theword

Yeah some people say that the music comes up loud on their com but with others it's fine- i think it depends on the type of computer you use. x

Was really hard to understand what she was saying? Wanted to hear better, to learn from her experiences about fashion.

[carolynbax]

@heart4theword

That's weird cos I have quite a clear Scottish accent- where are you from?x

omg i just love ur videos and you really do inspire me. I'm 18 years old and have flop my first year of college twice due to doing wrong subjects i am taking Btec fashion now, but really you coming out and telling that at the age of 18 you found your self to be young has really given me encouragement. I just wanted to ask you that anypoint did you feel that you may not be succefull in fashion because i really do want to get into this but than m scared what if it doesnt work out for me.

I love your story too - its so inspiring.

I would like to ask a couple of sewing questions as I have a machine and am always pottering around with it and dreaming of making my living from clothes and dresses!

1. Did you learn your dressmaking skills on your course, or did you pick them up elsewhere?

2. Are there any good books you could recommend on learning dressmaking?

3. Do you have any fancy equipment, like a serger, or can you make everything with your machine?

Thank you so much. :D xx

[chickybumble]

ive always made tiaras,handbags ,jewllery etc and sold them, but only made the odd dress here and there but since watching your vids ive wanted to do more of the dressmaking. im not in work due to my health and I get very depressed being stuck in the house unable to go out, but now ive ordered a tailors dummy, watched the vid you sent me the link for, and im going to start sewing again. thank you :) xxx

[LaurenlovesJamesM]

You are like my idol! I think you are amazing!

I was wondering how much you spent on your sewing machine

I asked in one of your other vidoes, but I think I have a better chance of you answereing my question here

I saved this vidoe! I think it is really positive

[theRCsugar]

hey carolyn

I live in ayrshire and was wondering if you knew of any good fashion schools or courses that would be good ?

[FeelingBeachy09]

I just wanted to let you know that you have inspired me since I started watching your videos a few months ago. I started thinking about Fashion Design since 5 years ago && never did anything about it but now I'm practicing && it's all thanks to you. P.S I tried to buy some of your patterns && It wouldn't let me bcuz I live in the U.S....sooo yea???

[carolynbax]

@FeelingBeachy09

Ohhh amazing!

I didn't know what I wanted to do for ages! I changed the site so you can buy them from international places ( someone from Australia wanted one and told me you couldn't buy them outside UK- I never knew -ooops! x
