Fashion Student Hey everyone Thanks for stopping by. I'm a tea drinking, dog & cat obsessed fashion teacher by day… by night a mummy to a cartwheeling 10 year dance, sport & YouTube loving tween. Plus a loving daughter to a beautiful mum recently diagnosed with early stages dementia. Devastated is an understatement. My mum taught me everything I knew about sewing for most of my life. Until I started working with exclusive brands. Because her skills were so highly sort after I wanted to learn the art of pattern making & drafting garments from measurements. Fast forward 30 years and now I’m teaching these skills to students in VET. Teaching as a profession since 2013. My career in this industry started officially in grade 11 (1991) in West End at a Fashion Agency, side note is a grew up looking at her sew from home in bouncer in the mid 70s in Daisy Hill. Studied Couture at Tafe then landed a fantastic posting at Triumph International as a textile / fabric librarian. After this I magically gained an enviable position as head textile designer at a knitting mill in Browns plains. Travelling the world researching ideas & trends. Drawing everyday. This led me to a position of garment designer for manufacturer in Brisbane. From this, I courageously decided to move overseas working for brands such as Ted Baker, ASOS.com, Top Shop, Selfridges and more in London. I learnt so much here. After 4 years I moved back to Australia and with the desire to teach. Which I’ve been doing with in my business Fashion Student. My love is creativity and daydreaming. However this industry is a business which I completely understand. It’s changing and I’m hoping the wider community will allow for positive more sustainable options. The workshops I have available are unique to me as I’ve been writing qualifications for the past 8 years. I truly hope you enjoy them as much as I’ve enjoyed creating the.
