Fashion Design

Sketch, draft, and sew clothes that started as your own idea.

Ideal for those who want to translate ideas into wearable, original garments through sketching, patternmaking, and sewing.

Flower Arranging

Compose stems, color, and shape into an arrangement worth a second look.

Which is right for you?

Choose Fashion Design if…

  • Wearing a garment you drew, drafted, and stitched yourself sounds worth it.
  • You accept that sewing, fitting, drafting, and design are four skills at once.
  • You would unpick a puckered seam at midnight without giving up.

Choose Flower Arranging if…

  • The meditative rhythm of cutting and placing stems calms you.
  • You want to develop an eye for color and negative space.
  • The moment an arrangement clicks would stop you in your tracks.

Before you commit

Fashion Design

  • Buying a machine and supply kit before you start is too much upfront.
  • Eight to twenty hours per first garment, then alterations, sounds exhausting.
  • A muslin that fits nobody would make you quit before the real fabric.

Flower Arranging

  • One tall bloom tipping the whole vase over would frustrate you.
  • Rebuilding the same arrangement three times sounds maddening.
  • Buying fresh stems that wilt in days feels wasteful to you.
