Students will learn a wide variety of skills, gain experience with a number of sewing tools, and discover the joy of creating original clothing! Come to the first class prepared to dive into fashion. You'll start with a look at commercial patterns and a tour of Pamela's fabric room to understand textiles & jump start your creativity.
