Accessory Design: Cochenille Retreat

Here are some shots of our Retreat members designing accessory items. We used Garment Designer to design hats. Below you can see some of our inspiration, and then students working on patterns. ,




Here is Sherry, working on planning the fabric combination for a tote. We used Garment Designer and the Couture Totes add-on to develop our patterns. Couture Totes is a software add-on to Garment Designer (or a stand-alone program) that has twelve totes modeled after clothing styles.
