Program Overview

This gentle, creative workshop is all about slowing down, exploring who you are, and building confidence through design, collage, and self-expression. Over two relaxed days, students will create a beautiful aesthetic sketchbook — which can be used as a fashion design book, creative journal, scrapbook, or mood-led diary.

This is not a sewing-focused course (and you don’t need to know how to draw or sew at all). Instead, the emphasis is on mindfulness, creativity, and process, making it perfect for students who love fashion, art, journalling, scrapbooking, or simply want a calm, non-pressured creative space.

Students will explore their favourite fashion brands, aesthetics, colours, textures, and inspirations—but this doesn’t have to be fashion-led. The focus is on identity: what you love, what inspires you, and what makes you, you. Think Pinterest boards brought to life, tactile materials, trims, sampling, and thoughtful design development. This is not a portfolio.

There may be a small amount of optional hand sewing or simple machine stitching used to attach trims or fabric samples, but it is completely guided and beginner-friendly.
