Our students (Fashion Designers) will explore and recreate a classic silhouette. For Fall of 2024 we will design and Athleisure bottom. Either a pant, short or skirt!
Our designers will start with the sketch (croquis), technical details, choosing and rendering the fabric, learning the proper way to make a pattern, including measuring each other, understanding the importance of this process and the fit of the garment. They learn how to pin and sew using a sewing machine. Then they sew the entire garment including the final fitting. Finally, on the last session of our class, we hold our Fashion Show, where you can show off the outfit that you designed and made yourself to your family and friends!
