This is the final time I will ever have to do any kind of ‘Back To School’ shenanigans. My oldest is heading to University and my younger teen is in her Final Year A Levels, hoping to go to University herself next year. I no longer have to remember to buy uniform and new school shoes but I do still get called on to pay for an endless list of supplies to keep them going through an academic year. We all know the list of normal items – pens, paper, bag(s) but for those doing a specialism, such as textiles or art, the list can spiral out of control!
Earlier in the summer I wrote about the basics needed to kit yourself out for sewing, but kitting out for school or college is slightly different. At William Gee, the most useful items have been packaged into student supply packs to help you out. There’s the Essential range, perfect for beginners, a Standard Range, for those who need to kit out their rooms, and the more advanced Deluxe range to get you started at University.
