0:21:00 > 0:21:05- When Catrin first walked - through the doors two years ago...

0:21:22 > 0:21:24- No, I liked fine art.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30- But in school, they said I'd be - the next Vivienne Westwood...
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- ..but I didn't want - to be a designer.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- When we started this year, - I started to like fashion.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- What exactly was the work...
0:21:47 > 0:21:52- ..which made such an impression - on the panel in Amsterdam?
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- Pictures of flowers - and some beading all put together.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- I then put the designs on the frock.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- I went out there - with a lot of work...
0:22:10 > 0:22:15- ..but they loved - the detail on the frock.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20- However, as per usual, funding - the course is a major headache.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26- It's very expensive, and of course, - you have to live out there...
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- ..and pay for the course itself.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- We are really hoping...
0:22:34 > 0:22:40- ..that there is anyone out there who - can help to pay for Catrin's course.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- I phoned the government - to tell them there is no assistance.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- I have set up a Just Giving page.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- I hope people can donate to help me.
