I would like to make friends with fellow students who are also studying the same course as me. I would love to hear from you.

Hi Tabernather,
They've stopped the course? That's a shame, I'm half way through it now. Though had to take it a bit slower in Module 7 due to volunteering at weekends.

They have stopped selling the course only, all out stnading ones are still ok to be marked, sorry, yeah im just starting mine, i bought the course over a year ago and have only just got round to starting it, nearly finished the first essay.
How do you find it? without having any help to hand? are you planning on taking things any further with the qualification i mean?

I'm loving it. I signed up in July and have been studying it and doing the work whenever I had free time, after work and weekends. Lately, I've been busy with volunteering for festivals so haven't managed to do much for the last 2 weeks. I did start again today though. I have my own online craft shop at Folksy and I hope to make clothes one day too. I do struggle sometimes and find help through You Tube videos and sewing forums. Plus my boyfriend is great at understanding written instructions with diagrams, he's been a gem though all of this. I hope to graduate at the end of the year, if I keep working as I hard as I'm doing.
I just signed up for the course yesterday. :)
I cant wait to get started, I've been meaning to enrol on this course for a while and finally decided to just do it! Thats good that you're enjoying it, I have no idea what to expect really but I'm sure I will enjoy it too. Just waiting for it to arrive now.

I opted for the online version but paid a bit to have all my course materials and assignments sent at once. I submit mine via their website and I normally have feedback within a day from the tutor. It is very practical with lots of 'samples' to make up. If you need any advice at all, please get in touch! I'll help you if I can.
Hi, how do you get any sketch work to scan in, to send it, it seems very easy and less time consuming than posting, but the sketches in pencil dont seem to scan very well to be able to send it in via the online marking system.
Thanks
And good luck with your course, although im not very far in my self, maybe we could share some ideas? Thanks

Hi,
I have a 3 in one printer the HP Photosmart, it seems to scan quite well for my drawings, fabric etc. I also take photos, use a bit of editing software (GIMP, is free) for cropping and reducing the size. I did run into a problem that my final document was over 8MB and had to reduce it, under 7MB seems fine to email. You could always go over your pencil lines in black pen, which may help to pick out the lines.

I also email all my work across. On the online marking thing, I write the date and who I emailed.

Hi Beckie,
As I received all my workbooks and test papers all at once mine arrived altogether. I think you need to contact Stonebrige and ask them about your test paper. If you send in by post,make sure you get proof of posting in case it gets lost.
I hope you get your PC fixed, in later modules more research needs to be done in some areas of study and the Internet is very useful for this. You will reach a few assignments that are more theory based, but there isn't that much to do, mainly is all practical.

Thanks , I contacted Stonebridge and they emailed me over the papers. I was just wondering how long you give yourself to do one assignment?, I've just started this week ,evenings only at the moment but I'm not sure on how long I should be spending on each one to progress at a good rate, what with me having to wait for the next assignment to arrive in the post as well.
I think I will have to get my pc going as I think I will submit my work online if its easy to do so? I've got a scanner just no computer..

Hi Beckie,
I work in the daytime until 4.30pm. I found the first few modules quite easy to do, so I spent a few evenings doing bits and then more at the weekends. Since reaching module 6 when things are very sewing related I slowed down and spent a bit longer. On average I have been completing 1 module each week. Now I'm on Module 8 after just starting in July, a lot of sewing terms and techniques I have to research in more detail, read up through my sewing books and learn all this new stuff. I do get frustrated and annoyed with myself. In the long run, when I look back at my work just before submitting I can see how far I have come. I feel this unit will take me a couple of weeks to complete.
Its very easy to submit online, make sure your file is less then 7MB, I have to zip file mine sometimes to reduce the size, email your contact at Stonebridge and then wait for your results, usually the same day. Its worth it, a lot quicker.
