Help me become a master!
Donation protected
I began a Masters at London College of Fashion in October 2015,choosing to take the flexible option that allowed me to study alongside full time work.
You may have seen some of my work at the 2017 V and A Balenciaga exhibition.

The last 2 years have been tough financially and I hit pause last year. In order to finish by Dec 2019, I need to pay the final round of fees, and I just haven’t scraped it together.
UPDATE! Thanks so much for your help in covering my fees! All additional money raised will go towards the expenses that pop up on a practical course like this. My printing costs for last hand in were £80 for example. Materials cost me over £100 so every penny donated will go directly into this research project.
I’d dearly love you to help me out, so that with a masters in pattern and garment technology I can better serve my students, my blog, all my social media readers and fingers crossed teach at university level.
I’m not one to ask for help often, and if you could help me out with a donation I have some rewards to offer. Just quote which one you’d like alongside your donation.
