I then went back to designing kids wear for BHS's in house development team. I then had number two baby. Since having my family I have had my own Christening gown business and a fleece hat and scarf business. I got into teaching by accident around 8 years ago. I took a job as a technician at a local college where they ran a ND in fashion. While there i began some teaching cover in Pattern cutting/designing and was put through my teacher training qual. I stayed there for 4 years and moved to another college teaching Fashion within a ND Art and Design course. I am now at Shrewsbury college where i lecture on a ND fashion course. I have been here for about 6 years. I teach the students about manufacturing and help them to realise the cost of non-ethical manufacturing. I became so interested and passionate about this issue, that i decided to make my own range and sell them through the internet, craft fairs and party plan.
