Finding Inspiration in Every Voice
From Students 學員心聲
“My daughter enjoys the class so much! She’s always looking forward to go to class every weekend.....”
“Thank you for the guidance, and patience! I have learned a lot in brushing up my rotten skills. I think I am going to buy a sewing machine and start making clothes for myself and my family!!”
“我自從以前中學返學學過少少家政堂車縫,就再沒有碰過針線。現在退休後,終於有時間重拾年輕時的興趣,重頭開始學縫紉,真的好開心啊!”
“我的孩子整天總是喜歡自己找些家裡的剩布,剪剪裁裁替公仔做衣服,覺得他在這方面有興趣,應該好好學好縫紉基礎,正式學做衣服!”
“I’m a 4th year student studying fashion design at university. I really need help in making my graduation collection garments for the graduation fashion show! I have very interesting and unique designs, but I don’t know how to make some of them! I want to work together with you in my experimentation!”
“I’m a 2nd year fashion design student in college. I need extra help in understanding pattern drafting, and also do more practice. At school, the teacher covered the material too quickly for me to understand! Here I can learn from the instructor one on one, asking questions anytime, and take my time to practice areas I am weak at.”
我是中學六年級學生,一直熱衷於時裝設計,今年要考DSE和報讀大學,好緊張啊!我已經有很多artwork 作品,但是不知道如何整理出個人作品集。我在這裡學了時裝插畫課程,令我能更好地表達我的設計元素,另外又學了做衫,做晚禮服等。原來時裝這行的技巧好多,還好我提早開始準備。所以暑假已經收到理大的錄取通知了!入讀心儀的時裝設計科。
“我識少少縫紉,做過一些簡單的裙子。後來也買過一些紙樣回來嘗試跟著做。但是我真是看不懂這些紙樣啊!不知道怎樣跟著做!多謝老師教我怎樣跟紙樣做衫。“
‘我算是懂一些車縫,但是對於布料所以完全不懂!可能因為買錯布,以前好幾次做出來的衫都很奇怪,不是我想像的樣子,多謝老師教我怎樣選布。”
我懂得一些基本車縫,也會做一些簡單的衣服。我幫我的兒子跟著紙樣做過衫,但是總是不稱身!因為他的肩部非常寬!我來學了如何量身和畫紙樣,還有最重要的是怎樣根據實際人體尺寸修改紙樣,令到衣服真正合身材。
“I want to study fashion design in the future in university. I like to design and draw dresses, shoes…etc, and I love beautiful clothes. But I didn’t know that I have to learn sewing, draw illustrations, do research and make themed collections in my portfolio when I apply to college. I’m glad I am here to start early to learn these skills, so that I will be confident and well prepared when I’m making my college applications in the future.”
“我家裡有很多質地,款式都很好的衣服,但是不大合身,需要修改才能穿。我很想自己動手改,因為拿出去該,又麻煩又貴。來這裡學了一些改衫的技巧,真是終生受用,自己改真是好有滿足感呢!”
“I am so sick and tired of not being able to buy clothes that fit me! I am very large sized and I just can’t find any clothes in stores that fit me. So I want to learn to make clothes myself. I want to learn all the basic pieces like blouses, skirts, pants, dresses ....”
“老師!多謝你啊!我好中意網上看到的這件連身裙,但是價錢貴得驚人。在這裡學了做衫,自己複製了一件幾乎一模一樣的裙,真是太開心了!”
“My daughter’s birthday is coming up. I want to make a skirt for her, like the style she said she likes. I’m her dad, and I don’t know sewing at all! This is a huge challenge for me. But I will work hard and make this a nice gift for my daughter.”
"謝謝老師這麼有耐心教我的孩子!這個孩子讀書不大用功,也沒哪一科成績是特別好的,但是對於縫紉,做衣服,藝術手作就非常有興趣。希望她學到這門專長,將來在這方面可以有所發展。"
