Fashion Design II
Students in grades 4-5 learn how to ideate, sketch, sew and embellish his/her own stylish wearable product. Kids have fun choosing materials that define their collection, read and customize patterns, learn pinning, cutting, hand and machine sewing and embellishing and finally showing off their creations at a fun fashion show at the end of the camp. In the Fashion Design II program students design and construct a top that could also be made into a tunic, learning to sew curves and other complex construction techniques - building confidence and independence on the machines. Time permitting and as an optional project, they get a glimpse of sustainable fashion as they upcycle denim jeans into cute and trendy denim skirts! Shown here are FD2 students rocking the runway during our summer camp.
Offered mostly during the summer and sometimes as an after school program, this class is a great way to develop independence and continue to build on the students’ creative confidence.
