This summer I was lucky enough to attend JCA for the create and make summer camp. It was a full week of creativity and learning new skills. For the first few days we played around with some draping, designing, using the industrial machines and also exploring the beautiful fabric shops around Mayfair for inspiration. For the second half of the week we were left to our own imaginations to create something to wear ourselves, with the idea of reworking or recycling fabric to create our personal garment. Throughout the process of making my own garment I felt really supported by the staff at JCA, they helped me make my own design come alive. Mel and Adrian (lecturers at JCA) really helped me, especially improving my pattern cutting and sewing skills and teaching me so much in such a short amount of time. I was one of 8 girls on the course, all a range of ages and I think it was so lovely to see everyone else’s strengths and talents and to take my own inspiration from this. We all really helped each other and I’m so glad I met such lovely people. I came away from this course feeling so much more confident in my fashion abilities.Credits to Rebecca who has planned the whole course and takes charge of summer camp every year, she really does make it. This course is perfect for anyone with a passion for arts, helping you to understand more of what you enjoy about fashion as there is so many options available here. I really enjoyed taking part in this course, I will never forget such a special week and would do it again in a heartbeat!!
