First Project .... done.

The first step to designing is learning how to put clothes together. Our students must take Fashion 130: Construction.

Here are some of my construction students, proudly holding the 'child's dress' they sew as a first project.

The dress is no a small feat; they learn how to do the following:

Hong kong, clean finish and overlocked seam finishes

Zipper

Facing

Collar

Puffed sleeves

Yoke with gathered skirt

Elastic casings

Machine-Stitched Hems.
