"Do not soak up time doing things that feel like work but are not work"
“What are you doing after your girl friend breaks up with you?” “I’m making clothes” 💯
Literally the Fashion equivalent of Shaxx from Destiny 2 when he says you should be throwing grenades as he speaks. 😂
I don't know if you'll get that reference, but it's alright if people don't I guess. It's just a video game character that tells you you should always be throwing grenades. So it's like this, but this is about fashion.
omg, yes.
real
type shit Im on
Update: no longer have a girlfriend but I’m making clothing still. Probably follow my dreams of traveling the world till I’m known from selling clothes!
I’m a creative, not a fashion designer, but your advice is gold. Thank you
Thank you, Mengting! 😊
Seconded. I'm trying to hear "finish the damned fanfiction, then write the original novel" to kick myself in the pants from daydreaming to publishing. (Also actually making a website to sell my physical crafts.)
Create clothes
Who says, "I'm a creative"?
@@gawni1612creatives
dude the point about knowing you were born to be a fashion designer gave me goosebumps! Im making a sign that says " don't sell the people or myself short, the world needs what I have to offer" and putting that above my sewing machine!!!!
Do it!! Go crush it 💫💫
I am just starting my journey and boy oh boy this point got me too!!
thank god someone is finally stressing the importance of pattern making
This really hit me. I just got into sewing end of August and decided to drop out of my current college to pursue fashion design. Since I am new to everything I am working full time to earn money for fashion school while trying to teach myself how to sew and design. When you said to "commit yourself to doing the art that you're meant to do," I realized I am not using my full potential. I do sewing projects every once a while and tend to take long breaks in between. Since I have been working full time, I have been making an excuse that I am too tired to sew after a long day at work. This was just pure laziness and will never allow me to be the best designer that I aspire to be. Thank you for making me realize that I need to push myself more, that I need to focus on my goals, and that I need to stop making excuses and start sewing daily to keep me on track.
Please keep sewing! Documenting your progress on youtube might motivate you and I'd definitely subscribe if you did so
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I’ll def see when I can start making videos
Keep on going!! We are in the same boat. I’m the same way with excuses but we got this!! Wishing you the best hun!
Do the thing!!
Any updates?
Such good advice. I was a contract sewer (retired now) and my worst nightmare was these kids that came out of fashion school with no idea of how to construct their designs, they used inappropriate fabric and they didn't want to pay either. I went to fashion school after 25 yrs of sewing in factories and it meant that my understanding of garment construction made it so much easier to learn patternmaking and draping. I got all my projects in on time too lol.
Third year fashion design student at Fashion Institute of Technology. Needed to hear this. Thanks Bliss.🤍
@Pizzagodavi same but fit is shit at least try parsons first
@Pizzagodavi check out kent states fashion design program too! that’s where i went p cool place, good ass major
@Pizzagodavi Central Saint Martins is the peak
@@zach-tr7du “at least try parsons first” like it doesnt cost $60k when FIT is like $5k
@Pizzagodavi 3.2
As young high school student who planning to study as a fashion designer. Thank you for giving this advice . Best advice for person who going into the fashion world
9:18 I'm literally crying! This video spoke to me on so many levels! I'm 31 and I feel like all my life I've been doing something that I like to certain extent but its nothing compared to the feeling I get when I make something that is remotely wearable. I love the business side of fashion too but I feel so old for it all. I see these 17-21 year olds creating amazing things and I just wish I would have been more vocal about what I really wanted at that age... I thought I had to be a scientist to make my family proud and to change the world...But i loved art... I just didn't know much about the world to know fashion was a career possibility. Anyway, thank you for this video! I'm really glad I clicked on it! It's really hard to stay motivated...I just need to try harder.
Erika Lily there is always time to do things. I'm 30 and I started sewing in march 2020. I which I knew that I wanted to do art when I was 17 but I didn't. I'm à mum now but I decided to change my mindset. If I live till I'm 60 years old, I will have 30 years experience in sewing and designing that's amazing. Just change your mindset...
Art itself changes the world too
Hey ...I’m on the same page. I left my job and studied fashion at 28.. of course I’m having hard times due to Covid but I’m not loosing hope. One thing I’m solid in is I strongly believe in whatever I’m doing is giving me happiness and I’m living in it.
So, I'm 29 and just starting out in fashion. I saved every penny to buy a second hand sewing machine, a dress form and some basic materials to make my journey in the world of fashion design. And guess what? I've sketched all my life, as a little boy I'd drape towels and people thought it was weird, but guess what? I'm finally taking my baby steps.
You're 31 now, pick a number and where do you see yourself in those number of years to come if you begin your journey now?
Your dreams are worth pursing, never give up on you. 🌈🤗
I am in very similar situation too
You do not understand how much i needed to hear this…this is exactly why I’m so hard on myself whenever i make ANY ERRORS. “Hold yourself to an extremely high standard. What are you doing this weekend? Sewing!” You’re a goat. Thank you .
I love how passionate you are, that’s awesome 🦾 remember that holding yourself to a high standard and being hard on yourself are not the same thing.
The inner voice has to stay positive 💫💫
I taught myself to hand sew when i was 8, learned how to sew on a machine at 11. Currently a design student in college and all of this is so spot on. Keep going if you feel yourself being pulled to fashion design. I have learned so much since i started, and i keep gaining new skills everyday. Also love this video, needed that extra motivation lol 💕
The absolute most useful piece of advice that I think us fashion students and designers need to realise is that it isn't a job it's a lifestyle. Let it consume you. Work hard.
one thing im realizing learning anything about fashion is how its really really hard to make really really nice stuff. that is actually the origin of fashion apparently. an aristocrat showing off how much effort was put into the outfit.
they wore outfits only once that cost what amounted to several annual salaries of the worker who made it
The most important thing is to be creative. You draw your creation, have a pattern maker make the first draft, sew it, modify it until you are happy. It'd be nice to have the perfect sewing, patter drafting and draping skills, but people have professional pattern makers knock off garments all the time.
Learning how to make patterns is CRUCIAL for being a designer. Regardless of the fear of someone knocking off your work. The quality of your handmade work goes a looong way, and will still outshine the mass produced knock off bs. Believe me.
the thing is i’m not creative lol
What this video not only taught me not just how to be a fashion designer but to be a solid, successful person.
MAN , I'M A KNITWEAR STUDENT AND EVEN THOUGH WE HEAR THIS EVERYDAY IN SCHOOL BUT IT JUST HIT ME HERE I CANNOT OOOOFFFFFF
THANK YOU❤️
Seems u r indian,may i hv ur no plz
Your house matches your entire look and personality. I love it.
It’s definitely my parents’ house 😆 but thank you 💫💫
I've been watching/listening to your videos while I'm sitting in a cubicle in a corporate office. I've been a frustrated designer for years and your advice really brought me back to reality. I really need to start sewing again!!!
I love these videos. I’m a writer and it’s so interesting to hear the ways that art crosses over. “Keep on working, master the basics, if you finish X then make another X, what are you doing this weekend I’m [making art], make more work” are all things that apply to my writing process. I love learning more about fashion as a hobby and I’m appreciating the artistry and community so much.
Every word you said is exactly what I needed to hear to stop messing around and focus on what matters. Thank you, Bliss.
This is not just for Fashion Designers! This is for all kind of artists. Loved this video so much. Thanks a ton!
this was great motivation. i used to be an art major, and honestly i didnt learn much that isnt already online. the best thing it did was force me to keep creating things, nail basics, and how to be efficient with time
This video is such a big help for me! I'm not technically a fashion designer (I've dabbled but don't plan for a career) but instead an author who's main character has a large passion for designing, so this really helped me get into his head set and visualize what his fashion journey should look like!
Ayyy I’m honored! Best of luck 🦾
@@BlissFoster Thank you! And to you as well, with your video's and all
9:07 dropped a few tears, not gonna lie.
Almost 4 years of studying fashion design as a career (still a lot more to go to get my degree) and you are the first to ever make me realise my self worth. Living a creative life makes me doubt myself sometimes as in "would it have been easier if I had stuck to being a math teacher or whatever". Never thought of my absence as something hurtful for others.
The advice in this video is amazing. The only thing i would like to mention is that while you should be working hard, and work a lot and put effort in, you SHOULD take breaks. Dont pressure yourself into making another peice if you feel tired and need rest. But great video, this helped me out a lot!
i'm a musician (a lot of interest in fashion tho) and at this point i simply watch your videos for the energy i get
thank you thank you thank you
I finished my first kid’s dress yesterday, and this video just motivated me to find something else to sew NOW! Thank you!! ❤
Hell yea 🦾 I know that’s hard to do, keep it up 💫💫
Fashion major, business minor here! This video was everything I needed to see right now. Thank you 💕.
thank you so much for posting this 😭 honestly 8:55 onwards made me tear up a bit - I have chronic fatigue and working out ways around that is so difficult but feels unappreciated. I'm constantly sketching or researching in bed and sewing when I feel better, but it literally feels like even that effort is for naught. thanks again so much for sharing this. it popped up on my feed but I'm grateful that I watched
not a fashion designer but a musician and I find so much value in your content - Love from the UK
wow i’m not even a fashion designer, i did get a new sewing machine because i want to learn how to make perfect clothes that suit my style and i also want to tailor some of my favourite clothes i own right now. i don’t even want to be a fashion designer but this advice still really hit me because i’m also a creative in a different field. everyone talks about not worrying about perfection because it’s so hindering, and to accept mistakes easily, but this video really gave me a new perspective. to execute my vision perfectly is something ive always struggled to do, but i’ll work even harder now that ive watched this video. thanks a bunch!
Fantastic advice! I'm not an established, nor an aspiring fashion designer, but most of what you said can be directly applied to my field (fine art, custom furniture and home decor items). While i devoted years to honing on my skills (colour theory, realistic drawing, art history..list goes on!), i made the mistake of 'entering the market' way too quickly...
The majority of my sales come from custom orders and what positively drained my creativity and made me reluctant to touch the media of art i so love and could spend hours on, forgetting about the world outside of the studio, was the tedious back and forth with clients- huge expectations, many very specific requests, haggling about the price or expecting items in exchange for a social media shout out... I found myself spending more time on these tedious back and forth conversations that more often than not would not translate into commissions. I eventually decided to pull back and step away from doing 'bespoke'/made to order work and focus on developing a fixed range of products that are true to my aesthetic, same goes for paintings. I'm much happier for it, making art that feels authentic to me!:). It's great to 'know your customer', but once you start doing anything in a creative field that only seeks to please someone else, i genuinely believe that can drain your creativity and you may fall out of love with your craft. Just thought i'd share that insight. Thank you once again for this video!
This is it right here! Best advice I’ve ever watched on you tube. I’ve worked in fashion design for 5+ years. I still work in the industry and have a small brand. I needed to hear this!!!! Thank you
Im so glad this appeared on my recomendations
Thank-you Bliss for youy bold and blunt advice to aspiring fashion designers. Unfortunately today, social and television media has created an image that becoming a successful designer is an A, B, C process! Even shows like Project Runway give a distorted picture of the hard realities!! If you're not committed to your craft and expect overnight success to be handed to you on a silver platter.............well baby think again!!! There are so many young designers who are struggling and many work additional jobs in order to survive! Fashon design is not for the faint-hearted, lazy or those who feel entitled in any way!
im not even interested in designing fashion myself, but still this video really inspired me to change my workflow
the advise on "if you are meant to be ....." that gooes to ANYONE WITH A SPECIAL GIFT.........he is infinitely correct. If you got the talent and the ability to do WHATEVER it is art medicine, wood work, what ever skills.....DO IT the planet DOES NEED IT! thanks man .....this part of the video is more than gold. i am trying to get to your patreon now.
I have been following for a while now and have always thought about supporting on patreon but watching this video for the second time is the final push. It gets me so amped up to make clothes and perfect the basics. Thank you. This is dope.
That means a ton to me, Taylor. Thank you 💫💫
Apparel product developer here working with CAD pattern software, 3D rendering, markers and tech packs every single day for mass production, I really enjoyed this video. :D I guess for people who want to get a degree to work in the industry rather than starting their own brands first, in my experience, college was a great place to be artsy, fun, avant-garde, and creative, but the real world is very technical. When I left college, I quickly discovered there was TONS of stuff college didn’t teach me that really hindered me in the beginning. Things such as the various industrial specialized machines out there, vendor communications, different patterning methods for mass production, and especially the vast amount of information needed for factories in the tech packs, all could have been better explained for a very technical, engineering type of fashion position. But I definitely had to start off slow, working In production, having to sit and sew for a few years got me the best experience for the position I am in now. Never give up!
Love this! Super inspiring! Whenever I need a kick in the pants to just keep designing, I'll watch this. Going to go design now...
Well uh... i found this at such a time. I literally cried. That uh kicked my ass bro. I have been sitting on 13 years of experience & dreaming to give up very recently. I shouldn't.
Not gonna lie I shed a couple of tears. This was so motivating.
found this video yesterday - just finiished it.
i focus most of my time on music - so not a 'designer' most of the time, but i love this video & it makes me want to be your friend.
my approach to music is simple: make a song every single day.
my best work is "accidentally on purpose" // always just another day of making a song a day.
i don't "let's make a banger today"
i do "let's make another song today."
and sometimes, "holy shit this might be some of my best work."
but most of the time, "there, another rep."
anywho. thanks for making cool shit.
"i can't do that right now, i'm sewing" is keen.
I have zero passion for fashion designing butI'm using this as a way to understand what i need to do for music and drawing those parallels, great video.
The pattern magic books are amazing! I tried to make this spiky shouldered sloper at school and about died but I learned a lot from it!
Hey, young fashion designer here, love all the points but have issue with the one of perfection, mainly that I struggled with making everything perfect but in truth nothing will ever be perfect, no matter how many times you do it, its harsh and kinda disappointing, but its better than beating yourself every time you try and don't get it correct, what is important is always trying your best, you'll improve over time
You're super cool, thanks for the video where you actually say that people should work but not dream. This is something I should hear myself once in month :)
I took a short course for basic pattern making and it helped so much. without knowing the basics you can't make anything that has good fitting at all. and since then I keep experimenting on new designs. but sometimes I think, when am I finally going to have a good design to sell? am I wasting time making all these experiments for 2 years? but every now and then I go back to thinking, I need to trust the process. I've grown so much in sewing and I'm happy and proud of myself even though I feel like I'm moving slow. your video makes me motivated again to trust the process once more. thank you.
This has helped me so much, this advice is really good for fashion designers but also for any people with any sort of creative career or discipline, it´s important to always have the basics well established. II think any person can find value in your videos.
I have adhd and I'm aspiring to be a fashion designer, this kind of content always helps me a lot for getting stuff started, I'm so thankful to the people that create it, because i'm totally sure a lot of us need to hear something like this.
I just want to make some disclaimer for the ones who read the book by Steven Pressfield:
You have to know that a lot of his content is marvelous, it's really inspiring, but in some parts it implyes that some mental health problems are just fictional and you can overcorme it with discipline (and that's a myth, some people with certain conditions need a lot of more help to do that), but I think you can even then take something valuable of the book, just keep it in mind.
Yeah, this is true. I’m with Stephan on a lot of things, but the idea of “work more and your depression will go away” isn’t true for many folks.
I make leather goods rather than clothes but I appreciate the reminder to keep moving and not linger on small successes and projects that we think are great in the moment. Selling items early on boosts confidence but non-stop striving toward perfection is key.
This is super helpful, I want to start making clothes and potentially start a fashion brand but I didn’t know where to start, this actually gives me something to do to improve
just wanted to say that making crazy things and experimenting, and expressing your creative side is actually a huge part of being a fashion student! As a young designer though, it is crucial to maximize your commerciality, which means understanding how a garment is made, *I don't think Bliss is trying to say as a student, you need to make sure you start with the basics ONLY* , but to point out that *as a designer, understanding of the human body and garment construction is VERY IMPORTANT.*
I’m am 12 years old and I want to be a fashion designer, I think I wanted to be a fashion designer since I was 8-9 and I have been drawing since then, to be honest at first I wanted to be a doctor but then I realize that I was more into fashion and I wanted to make dresses and clothes. I know that some people will say, you will change your opinion but no I want to be a fashion designer. So I hope my dream will come true.
I can’t wait to see what you create, Milihanys 🦾🦾
you dont have an idea of how much i needed this video! i casually clicked on it as a background vid while doing an assigment and maaaaan i never worked so hard after it
im surprised it was published in 2020....love the advices man... im still young n fashion designing is what i want to do as my career one day
I MEAN I LOVE YOU!! I am a fashion designer working in the field for 5 years and i couldn’t agreed with you more! Love this video and your energy! Going to hear this every time i need a push 🔝
It’s hard cuz school expects you to do those crazy designs that no one thought of... just look at what the central st Martens grad collection...
Making my own clothes has been my dream for sooo long. I'm finally going on a sewing and pattern making course this august and I am so excited. Your advice is really good! I don't plan on becoming a fashion designer as a career but I just feel like I can't either find any pieces that I like in shops or I can't afford them ahahah
Needed! I have a presentation to prepare for FCUK tomorrow so this was the kick I needed to work hard
I think you might just be the best guy on the Internet. I feel like I so needed to hear this. Thank you.
Great points! I remember even listening to an interview with Rick Owens where he clearly says, he doesn't want to listen to young designers if they know nothing about pattern cutting.
Just graduated this summer from Wilson School of Design in fashion design 4 year program and trying to build up my own studio right now, what you’ve shared was absolutely right! Its all about the basics after all!
🫶🫶 I loved Wilson. I did product development for two years, but had to switch to brand because I also had to have a job financially and product didn’t allow me to have a job. Breaks my heart everyday.
This is giving me motivation and is straight facts. Gotta work hard and practice practice practice
I have truly never had a video resonate more. I recently found your channel and have been going through watching every single video. Your content is so valuable, and your advice is gold. Thank you so much. ✨
Thanks so much! I’m so glad it’s been useful for you! As you’re working through different episodes, I would love to hear your thoughts about what you see! 💫💫
I’m not even a designer, I didn’t know I needed this tho
I feel like they’re principles that apply to anyone’s work. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this! I'm a comic book artist, so I just replaced "making clothes" with "making comics" - it still works! It's so hard not to get caught up in "The Idea" or some philosophical mumbo-jumbo and not just go do the Art Thing you want to do. Churn and burn, baby. Get it done, and on to the next one.
I just started studying fashion design at uni and I’m putting in so much work, videos like this inspire me to want to get better and push myself
Thank you Bliss. I’m not a fashion designer, but I am an architecture student and this advice actually applies perfectly. I appreciate this video.
im a Taiwanese designer ,thx youtube algorithm ,really spirit up.
I came in here as a novice hobbiest seamstress just hoping for sewing tips 😂 Theses seem like great tips for the professional world! I'm just out here sewing with patterns to make clothes that actually last compared to fast fashion thats so prevalent today
these are so realistic it’s making me mad 🙄🙄but i’m glad i watched this
so hard to commit to it because imagine you put all yourself in it and they reject it. the only thing I am putting my efforts is when I am doing on my own.
This video is the serendipitous kick in the ass that I've been trying to give myself over the last couple of years. I literally made a voice note to myself in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep to begin the process of making my clothing line. I thought sketching, designing, drafting, getting the materials, watching different fashion shows, getting the books, etc. mostly a lot of the base level and material things were the things that I needed, and my brother has been telling me this for years but when it comes from an outside source for whatever reason it hits different, but yeah I thought I needed all these material things you see on like project runway to start and to feel motivated, but it makes sense now that those things were distractions and things that I was putting in my way to try and say I need this or I can't start. But this video has helped me immensely realize that its not the deep and the first step to getting everything started its to start from the beginning, master the basics and practice!! Thank you I'm glad your videos was suggested to me by the RUclips gods and I'm glad I binged a few of your videos that lead me here!!!
Thank You!
I STUMBLED UPON YOUR CHANNEL A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND IM INFATUATED!!! YOU ARE SO HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE AND A DOWN TO EARTH PERSON… LMAO LIKE THIS VIDEO ALMOST FELT LIKE A FACETIME
Very inspirational! I very often find myself being overwhelmed with these ideas, and because i’m fifteen and school where i’m from is quite demanding, I don’t have the time to do any actual physical work; just sketching- if i get the chance. I also do not have a sewing machine. What would you recommend me to do?
Go to a local seamstress go ask advice it’s free and they’ll lead you somewhere, it’s there go use it 💯
Omg I have the pattern magic books and haven’t even looked at it. I was looking for inspiration to fashion sketching and saw your video and thought, “hmm I need these crucial information “. And yes I was also thinking of making the same shirt a zillion times until I can make it with my eyes closed like Alexander McQueen. I want to be so good at tailoring like him.
Branding as a modern art form? It's the first time I hear such thing
when I studied fashion, the biggest challenge was, not the pattern cutting, not the sewing, but the finishing. Boy was I a terrible finisher! Adding facings, neatening hems, finishing seams were always done last minute. Now I'm practicing sewing and will work improving the finishings
Terrific advice Bliss Foster and I may add that by you pointing out what you did some people may realize that actually they are a Fashion Stylist and not a Designer. Thank you for loving Fashion and making such great content!
Okay so first of all goddamn thank you for this video. I don’t sew, I’m not a fashion designer, but I do draw people who wear clothes and I always liked to play around with different (almost absurd) styles for my characters….and you’re spot on about everything. I needed to hear all of this today because I have ALWAYS wanted to do more with my art. Just. Seriously. Thank you. ❤
Yo there’s also lots of designers that don’t cut or sew or anything so it’s totally fine, just learn the way while you’re going and work your ass off. I can’t sew or anything but I can touch things as in touch and know exactly what I want. I can learn along the way I don’t mind. Never afraid 💯
same am a creative director and just started a brand but know what I want and can execute it perfectly.
@@nnekavanessa3005 best of luck! go above and don’t stop !
I love how this guy just inspired me to become so much better at my craft
Following the modeliste studio since his early days ,definitely my fav and most soothing yt channel
Incredible video that actually reassured me I‘m doing the right thing. See, I‘m doing a Tailor’s apprenticeship bc I didn’t have the financial resources available to me to study design at an art school and this video made me realize how much better this approach is because I actually am learning how to MAKE clothing from scatch not just design it. I wasn’t sure if this was a good way of starting my journey but now I‘m damn sure of it
i started off thinking i wanted a fashion line but im now leaning toward just pattern making, bringing someones vision
The most useful passionate video about fashion design i ever seen thank you 💯💯
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on RUclips. I am not a fashion designer. The video popped into my feed. This philosophy could be applied to any profession out there. Basically it’s just start grinding and don’t stop until you get to where you want to be! Very good video!
I think Virgil is the best example for that that branding, design thinking and creative direction can be as good working as craftsmanship. The idea and the concept are the most important parts. It can always be executed better by any human that ist sewing for 20 years. Still good ted talk
I disagree. It needs to be a good balance. Designers who can draft create way more interesting clothing because they know what can be done and push it further. But the obsession with craft can create undesirable and unpractical clothing because everything is treated as an intellectual exercise. Creative Directors like Abloh are great story teller and they have a keen eye for trends , making them financially sucessful - but their clothes are often basic and can't stand alone without context. Its longevity is based on brand perception and hype.
@@jon8860 Good point. And I really don’t want to downgrade craft. I am designer myself and I know their are just some friends of mine that do and do like crazy all day long but at the end off the day all day do is trash on a creative side (sorry) and there are some designer spending all week going out and being social, getting inspiration and smash then with crazy ideas. All I wanted to empathize is that their are different work ethics in the creative industry and you don’t need to be a workhorse marrying your sewing machine. For sure the quantity will go down but do we really need to uplift the amount of clothing getting produced in 2020 is the question.
Jacquemus too
I'm a fashion design student currently loosing my motivation, this video came exactly when I needed it.
Ditto!
all my life is pretending I love fashion I'm gonna make super cool thing on earth but still estimate roughly. Thank you so much
You can do it!💫💫
I really needed to hear that ! I have a lot of ideas all the time and I try to do everything at the same time instead of focusing on what’s important. THANK YOU 🙏🏽!
these days I made a pattern for a dress cause I saw it everywhere online but no shops were selling it and I didn't have the money to buy one online. I literally did contortionism to take my back's measurements, I had to make 12 sleeve patterns because none of them were puffy enough just to fing out I needed a 70 freaking cm sleeve. I bet I lost 5 years of my lifespan trying to figure out how to make this dress but it worth every effort. It doesn't look good, obviously, it's my first dress after all but it feels so good to bring things from imagination to reality
I watch this every month or so when I need a kick in the ass to help keep my nose to the grindstone. Thanks bliss
Am a small Fashion Designer from Melbourne and I really appreciate this, Thankyou !
Thank you for calling me out so hard, i have a bunch of patterns but i’m so lazy about making mock-ups which results in me making a thousand mistakes when i actually want to sew something 😩 thank you flr this, i’ll work harder 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Hey Bliss !!! Thank You for such awesome n knowledgeable videos. I have started going to fashion school at 42 . Was too concerned about a lot of stuff but your videos really comforted me way too much. Thank You 😊
Yesssss!! Go crush it, Kajal!!!
came across your channel randomly and omg this was like a smack in the face for me ahaha i finished school earlier this year (i’m missing one internship to graduate, but thanks to covid regulations and the lack of fashion jobs in my area i’m on a limbo rn) and i’ve been slacking so much because i’m unmotivated and i don’t even wanna touch my sewing machine. I really need to take this back to basics and get to work again, thanks!
Go crush it, Valentina 💫💫
My worst trait is to put it bluntly, laziness. I procrastinate so much and I get stuck in that loop. Your video especially the part where you said we are denying you of great work caught me off guard in the best way.
I struggled with this until I was 28 and I figured out what I wanted to do with my life (this). The laziness will dissipate when you find the thing your passionate about. It may be fashion design, it may something else. Don’t give up on finding your thing. Getting out of that apathy is the best feeling in the world. You can get there too, don’t give up 🦾 Seriously tho, get the audiobook for The War of Art. I found it extremely helpful 💫💫
@@BlissFoster thank you.
Thank you for this. I hadn't listened to a speech I needed to hear like this in a minute.
