This is a little more of a practical week, and starting off with the digital skills students need. I have been more than a little surprised at the lack of these skills in some of my students, I admit. The document above is quite a […]

Waistcoat
Next project! I plan to make a waistcoat for the husband. Now, he is a robust lad from Northern Ireland, so I had to seek some advice on adjusting. I’d got the hang of the full bust adjustment so now it is time for the […]
Week two: INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation
