Ever since its inception over 60 years ago, the Singer Fashion Academy has been instrument­al in bringing about economic viability to everyone who has been involved with the brand and uplifting the lives of students in so many ways by helping to hone their skills in the art of sewing.

Apart from this, the Singer Fashion Academy is also especially revered for offering affordable, quality education in the field of fashion designing and the craft of sewing.

Apart from the range of certificat­e and diploma courses offered through them, the institute also includes a number of creative short courses. These include Needle Painting, Creative Embroidery, Smocking, Patchwork and Creative Zig Zag. The Creative Embroidery course itself consists of three main techniques, namely hand embroidery, Brazilian embroidery and ribbon embroidery.

Students can enrol in these creative courses during any given time and follow the course at their convenienc­e and does not entertain specific student intake periods as such. There are a number of other short courses delivered through the Singer Fashion Academy.

Students can therefore, start the programme at any day convenient to them and experience flexible class schedules arranged to suit them, whilst also enabling them to easily balance work and family commitment­s without a hitch. These courses are therefore, ideal for working ladies and stay-athome moms. Creative courses such as these also pave the way towards mastering a craft that can be denoted as a therapeuti­c way of relaxing from the stresses of daily life. The flexibilit­y of engaging in these creative courses allows for that peace of mind as well.

Beginners can enrol in a short course without having to worry about any prior experience. Another attractive element of these courses is that these are available at affordable prices and payment of fees will be on instalment basis. The short courses run between one and three months and apart from following a short course for the purpose of learning a new craft or honing an existing skill, those who follow these courses also do so with the aim of engaging in one and embracing it as a continual hobby or simply, for leisure.

Getting to engage in such an activity also paves way for a more therapeuti­c exercise, which is bound to help one’s state of mind in many ways.

Eventually, learning one or more of these crafts can also help towards turning it into a prospectiv­e business opportunit­y. Even though these short courses seem like standalone programmes, they can be integrated into other creative elements such as dressmakin­g and saree design for instance, to further help in enhancing one’s level of creativity.

Everyone has untapped potential hidden within them, waiting to be unleashed. Following a short creative course is one great way to rediscover oneself and expand one’s creative horizons in the process. Programmes such as these also help many to identify their strengths, passions and capabiliti­es which tend to go on to produce some amazingly artistic conception­s. Following course completion, students will be assigned a final project to ensure that they have grasped the craft.
