Creating: Week 4 Fashion Design class Broward college

Homework from week three: Bring in a pair of your favorite pants, some pattern paper, and your sketchbook completed up to date.

The historical personality that I chose to be inspired by for my 20 sketches this week was Frida Kahlo.  I chose Frida, for two reasons.  One I know her story and two  I am familiar with her personal style.

I created an inspiration collage.

And I created some sketches and technical drawings.

I wish I knew how to make patterns from my sketches, because I really like some of my designs.  Next week's homework is to create three sketches for your final collection, pick a pattern to create for your garment for your final project, and pattern a pencil skirt and sew the muslin!!!

This class is not for the faint hearted and it will not (in my opinion) be a cakewalk for a newbie  who doesn't put in the time or effort to learn on his/her own..this last part s just a bit of information for those who might want to take the class.

Creating: fashion design

So  I tried this before and I am trying it again - to learn to sew.  I signed up for the fashion designing class at Broward College   called Fashion Designing.  If you click on that link you can sign up just  go to register and you will see a list of classes.   The teacher is Asanyah Davidson and I am looking forward to learning from her.  Classes start June 12.   I am also taking sewing classes  at Miami Dade College  starting in May.  I will be blogging more and sharing the experience.
