And I knew, I just knew, that I needed just one gig that would boost all my designs and make me the next hottest designer in town. DRAWING DESIGNSI began drawing designs, imagining runway shows and googling all manner of fashion designs and fashion houses, comparing designs, trying to improve others, and sometimes copying theirs to practise my drawing skills. I bought sewing accessories — thread, needles, tape measure, tailoring pins, pin cushion, fabric shears, tailor’s chalk, tracing paper, seam ripper...you name it. I read about sewing, bought books on sewing, downloaded free and paid-for patterns. And to think I had promised to make a dress for my mum...And there went my fashion designing career.
