Strawberry Fields-Central Park

Labour day and a visit to the Strawberry Fields which is a living memorial to the world-famous singer, songwriter and peace activist – John Lennon. This tranquil section of Central Park was named after one of the Beatles' best-known songs, "Strawberry Fields Forever."

2 Days in and course begin..

Classes begin with pattern cutting, and swimwear,i am also taking photography, haute couture sewing and embellishing the classes are small about 20/22 people per tutor. In total i am 15 credits which totals about 28 hours a week.
