Kids Sewing Classes New
Join Ireland’s Leading Fashion Design Academy for Kids
Introduction
Learners will be taught to sew in a creative environment. They will receive class notes and information on fabrics & designers. Our machines are very easy to use and are equipped with finger guards. New starters will learn all about sewing machine safely and basic operation. Learners will receive Project Fashion grading certificate’s on completion of each syllabus. The new students will start on a Beginner’s Project program. Once they have received their certificate’s, they will join the rest of the group in more project based workshops.
Teenage classes now starting in Malahide & Sandyford
Beginner Class
Each of our beginner projects are aimed at giving our learners the skills to explore and express their ideas and develop aesthetic awareness. At Project Fashion we enable the learners to see and solve problems through imaginative thinking and creativity. With each of our 19 projects our learners will learn lifelong skills with each project expanding their skill set ready to start their collections.
Intermediate Class
Our intermediate/advanced students will get the opportunity to design and produce their own garment. The goal is to create an on trend wearable collection inspired by our “Sidewalk to Catwalk Collection” theme. Students will use mood boards and references to plan their design.
Our “Sidewalk to Catwalk Collection” is inspired by the fashion trends and subcultures of the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s. Students will explore the themes with our tutor. Which “Group” you would imagine yourself to be a part of, how you would style yourself for the school day, and what bold fashion choices you would make in an environment where standing out is encouraged and expected. This year’s brief is a lot more open to interpretation, allowing our students some creative freedom.
Some thought should be put into finding inspiration, perhaps from one of our mood boards, a book, tv show or movie they think fits the theme. We will spend time in class discussing our ideas and creating mood boards before finalizing designs.
How Our Classes Work
They will learn the complete process of Fashion Design. Starting with Creative Thinking, students will discover the whole thought process of how to transfer ideas onto paper. How to take inspiration from something. Producing a moodboard, documenting their thoughts, colours and textures. Then onto Fashion Drawing, where they draw their final design. With guidance from our experienced tutors, students will be trained in pattern cutting and garment construction. This enables the learner to explore, clarify and express their ideas through each of these stages.
All new learners need to bring is fabric for their Beginner’s Projects. Fabric choice is very important, it lets the learner express themselves and allows them to explore. The textures, patterns and colours can inspire ideas and allow creative expression. As the learner becomes more confident you will see this through their fabric choices and in their handling of the fabrics in more complex ways.
