draping 1

Let your fiercest fashion impulses run wild. Get inspired by fashion history, mysticism and fantasy. We encourage you to get creative with proportions, colours and textiles.

In this class you will learn a unique three-dimensional method of creating garment designs directly on a dress form (our dress form’s name is Judy).

Students will have the opportunity to drape a fashionable top.

In each class you will take part in a hands-on demonstration, developing your sewing skills and learning techniques specific to making your project. Then you will work with guidance on your class project.
