I agree with the above comments and I would go one step further and try and find someone locally who already has these skills and get some private lessons. With other forms of group lessons, it will take much longer to learn! Start small and build up your experience of the techniques you will want to use.
It is no good outsourcing your designs if you cannot see where problems could lie and you may not appreciate 'shoddy' work. Remember that buyers turn garments inside out to check the finish ... if you are leaning toward the more designer/upmarket clientele. Keep your dream and work at it one day at a time. Believe me if you do that, you will get there. AnneMarie

![]() In real life, it's more typical that celebs are more likely to hire it all out, everything from design to production. The reason is, a celeb is a brand, a clothing line is just another revenue stream, another branch of products they can slap their name on. Most celebs don't design or produce at all. Rather, they license their name to someone who already produces a given range of products (sunglasses, footwear etc). At best, the licensee presents a range of style ideas and the celeb selects the items that resonate with their image. This is the most typical course of affairs. There's a few exceptions tho, like Gwen Stefani. She's been sewing since she was a kid. It was in the news a couple of years ago that she broke her finger sewing her own samples.
