Get ready to become a Fashion Designer! Our Student Designers will explore crafting clothing and different design themes from start to finish. Throughout the week, we will be developing an entire outfit with accessories to match the week’s theme.
Caribbean week will be all about designing our perfect vacation two-piece set! You will start with sketching and rendering your design. Then, Measuring, pinning and cutting out your design. Already know how to use a sewing machine? Great! We’ll help you sharpen your skills. No sewing experience needed. We’ll teach you. Our student designers will also work on accessories to complement their project if time allows.
Our students 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 day of our camp, we hold our Fashion Show. No sewing experience necessary. All fabric, supplies, and use of the sewing machines are included.
At the end of the classes we will hold a fashion show to share with your family.
