Join us for our 2 week fashion design camp as we draw, sew, and create our own clothing and accessories! Students will explore and create a variety of projects, including making our own fashion shirts, sewing accessories like purses and handbags, creating fashion drawings and paintings for real life clothing inspiration, making miniature doll clothing, and so much more! Students will increase their knowledge about fashion by diving into the fashion industry and learning about everything from the beginning phase of creating a fashion figure sketch to pricing clothing and accessories for distributors.
