We all have been through this time in my life where we are bored of our daily life routine, this is when we want to be something that would make release endorphins, make us happy, keep us busy, and let us meet with new people with common interests.
Are you feeling a bit crafty? Have always been dreaming of playing music, and dancing like a rockstar, or maybe become the next Van Gogh, or Henry Cartier-Bresson? That’s a list to help you do just that.

Hi I would like to ask about fashion design courses in Egypt the one in maryouteya
Please call them
Nice list!
Just want to point out that “pattern making” doesn’t mean making visual patterns like the one in the included photo. “Pattern making” means making flat pattern templates that are used to cut fabric for a certain garment, which is what every dressmaker/seamstress are talking about when they say “patron” (which means pattern in french).
Hi please i want to know which is better in pattern and sewing italian fashion academy or career gates? Thank you
Cairo Contemporary Dance Center in Mohandessin is also a great place for Dance :).
