I mentioned briefly in my article last week, but I was asked to speak at my alma mater FIT on Monday.
This was a tremendous honor for me. I am extremely proud to have received a bachelor’s degree in bridal design from FIT. I transferred from the University of Kansas and completely started my college career (and young adult life) over. It is a very rigorous four year program with zero flexibility. Eight semesters in front of a sewing machine, eight semesters of pattern making, eight semesters of draping, illustration, embroidery. To say I took the students’ time seriously on Monday is an understatement.
