The Queen Of The Bias Cut.

I cannot believe that I am sitting on my laptop at 11.34pm on a Monday night doing homework. The concept of homework seems so foreign to me now that I'm 23 years old. I feel like I'm doing my little sisters homework because she's swamped and left it all til the last minute.


I am creating a fashion designer profile on Madeleine Vionnet. If you do not know who she is, PLEASE look her up. Every girl/woman needs to be aware of certain women in history and she is one of them.


And one of her magnificent designs..

Bend And SNAP!

I went to the doctors this morning in fear that I have fractured my wrist while we were moving house. I was helping my mum and brother move a couch when my mums king sized wood and metal bed frame (that was dismantled and resting against the wall) fell on me. Luckily I protected my head by doing an action similar to a karate chop on the planks of wood. My wrist doubled in size and it hasn't been the same since. I couldn't even move it yesterday and today it is still very sore, very swollen and movement is limited. I thought for sure it was broken but it turns out that it's not.

The Devil.

Ever heard of Cankles? Well this is the wrist, so I'll call it Wankles.. Although that isn't correct.

I am meant to be at school today but it's a sewing day and with one arm taped, I'm of no use to my teacher. I am spending the entire day on pain killers, by my mums side as she buys towels for the new house. Hopefully she will feel sorry for me and buy me some new stuff as well!

Some time today, mum is dying my hair a bright platinum blonde. I will be taking before and after photos to show you. I'm so excited.

Bye Bye Grandma, Hello Blonde Bombshell.

Wish me luck xx

What To Call My Future Clothing Line?

Thursday was the first time I stepped foot in a classroom since 2003.

My mum was pretty sick in 2003 and we didn't really tell anyone but we were really scared she wouldn't make it to 2004. I made the tough decision and dropped out of highschool to make sure I could be there at all times. But that's a story for another time.

On Thursday I started my Certificate Four in Fashion Design and Technology.

I'm studying part time so I can still have a life and run my business, plus I'm going to start working as Aaliya's hairdressing assistant a few times a week. Did you all know that I'm actually a hair colour technician? Well you do now :)

As for school? It went GREAT. I actually went to enrol into the class in January but the receptionist was a doosh bag and said that the class wasn't being run at my local Tafe so I didn't go ahead with studying. After seeing my friend Monicah's Facebook status asking for people to join the class, I jumped at the opportunity. My classroom is even in the same building as my brothers classroom!

My timetable is pretty simple and we are always in the same room.
Monday is pattern making, Tuesday is design and Thursday is sewing.

My first day went really well. I sewed paper and started my 1cm lines on my 'never ending band'. I used to sew when I was younger so that class should be a breeze for me.

I made new friends instantly. My group of friends in class consists of me, Monicah, Agatha, Denise, Ivanka and Shereen.

I'll post photos as soon as I take them. My teacher on Thursdays is easy going so hopefully she will let me take photos during class. I told her about my blog and she was very surprised and interested so hopefully if I rip out the "it's for my blog" line - she will allow me to do almost anything haha.

Who else is studying? Has anyone studied a similar class to mine?
