For example, clients can enrol in the Introduction to Sewing course and then move on to Start to Sew 1 and Start to Sew 2. These three courses combine to create a fifteen week program, complemented with manuals and a student

From an early age I had a love for fashion design and construction, and over twenty five years have continued to develop these skills professionally. I have graduated with the following:
Diploma of Arts in Fashion – RMIT,
Certificate of Millinery Construction & Design – Melbourne School of Fashion
Certificate of Millinery Construction – Ascot School of Millinery
Certificate 1V in Assessment and Workplace Training – AWT0077
Millinery Association of Australia – Member
Throughout of my career, I have had a broad variety of professional experience in designing and making theatrical costumes, bridal wear, made-to-measure garments and specialised headwear. A recent highlight for me whilst a member of the Millinery Association of Australia was my involvement in the fabulous parade held each year for the Spring Racing Carnival.
By creating 'Sew with Vikki Leigh Martin', I am able to share my skills and experience. I believe that learning should be enjoyable and relaxed - this is the environment I endeavour to create for my clients.
