How You Can Make the Most Out of A Fashion Design Course

If you have the passion for fashion and you are thinking of putting up a business on the side, this could be a good opportunity for you to make extra income. I have an aunt who thought of what to do with her retirement pay a few months before she was forced to retire from her job. She loved clothes, and she noticed that her company changed the design of their uniforms twice a year. She used her enterprising mind and invested in a Fashion Design course that she found online. She enrolled in a correspondence course with Lifestyle Learning Direct.

With the Fashion Design course, she learned how to make and cut patterns, do basic designs and dressmaking. She drew some designs for the uniforms and joined the bidding in their company. Fortunately, her designs were chosen and will be used next year when the company will change their employees uniforms. Her first big contract involved making the uniforms for 100 of the company's employees. So you can already imagine how much money she made from this initial job order.

She continued to improve her craft and skill in dressmaking. Currently, her business is now a small fashion empire that employs 50 dressmakers. Her business subsists because of the growing number of clientele that she built and regular customers who have remained with her over the years. She currently supplies the uniforms of 3 large companies, 2 malls and an overseas fashion label. She is very lucky to make it really big in the fashion industry, not as a fashion designer in the likes of Chanel. She is proof that there are still lots of opportunities to make money in the fashion industry without becoming a high class fashion designer or a famous brand name. She owes it all to the correspondence course she took with Lifestyle Learning Direct.
