Our students [Fashion Designers] 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, for our designers to explore their innermost fashion taste and skills. Our designers team up with other designers for this quite unique and fun experience.

No sewing experience necessary. All fabric, supplies, and use of the sewing machines are included.
