It’s been a really exciting couple of weeks for me as I finally decided to become a student again! I took some pattern-making classes 10 years ago when still in college, but never felt like I had the time to really dive into it because it wasn’t my major. Now, a mom with two kids, I finally decided it’s time to take more seriously the thing that I actually spend all of my extra time doing. So this semester I am taking my first night class at the Fashion Institute of Technology. This is something that I have dreamed about for a long time so I am just giddy that it’s actually happening. I am not sure where this is all going to take me, but I feel like it’s a big step in the right direction. I can’t explain how alive I felt just stepping on campus. Just wanted to share this with you all because you would probably understand better than most.

Congrats and good luck!!
Fashion Institute of Technology… it sounds really good!
Pattern cutting your own designs will really open up the possibilities for you! You’ll probably be so excited you won’t know what to design first, but just enjoy the learning!
Oh you are living my dream!!! Congrats. I love your sewing (and designing) and have been watching from afar for awhile. Best of luck with the classes – so which is was me ;).
Ahh Kelli good luck, I am SO completely jealous by the way.

Congrats! Hope you’re getting much out of the course. I took the plunge too, I’m in the FIT PM121 sunday group. So fun!
Oh! who’s teaching your class? I loved my prof, when I took this night class – and it was an awesome, exhausting, exciting class full of learning new things. How fun!
