Kids Sewing Classes

Join Ireland’s Leading Fashion Design Academy for Kids

 

Project Fashion Academy is run by Professional Designer Paul Alexander & his Fashion Design Team. Unleash your child’s creativity, train them up in a skill that will last a lifetime and get hands on experience in a fun and educational way at our Fashion Design Workshops for children and teenagers.

All the patterns for our projects are developed by our in-house Fashion Designers and pattern-cutting team. Once students have completed all the beginners projects they progress onto intermediate level. At intermediate level they can celebrate the skills they’ve learnt by producing on-trend garments that they can proudly wear themselves.

Each year a new theme is revealed for our students to work on for our celebrity hosted charity fashion show. This year’s theme is ‘School of Style’ and you can learn more about it here. Our students are currently working on their pieces for this years YOUNG DESIGNER OF THE YEAR AWARDS Fashion Show this October.
 
Since 2014 many of our past students have chosen to progress with their studies and are now attending colleges such as NCAD and Griffith College.

THE SCHOOL OF STYLE

Join us as we explore our theme “The School of Style”. Join us for our exciting after school classes. Design your own spectacular pieces to wear out and about.

Experiment with different fabrics, textures and design techniques as you dive deeper into the theme.

This is an exciting opportunity for our learners to take a basic pattern and use their skills to make a custom piece!

THE THEME

Embrace “The School of Style” Characters from The Cheerleader, The Sports Squad, The Graduate, The Prom Queen and The Girl Gang. Every Character has their own individual style that you can draw from.

The Cheeleader and their pleated skirts and pom poms, The Sports Squad and their varsity jackets and tracksuits, The Graduate and their capes and tassel-finished accessories, The Prom Queen with their sparkly dresses and crowns and The Girl Gang with their co-ordinating outfits and hats. With so many characters and styles to choose from, we are sure there is something for every student to get really inspired with this project!

AFTER SCHOOL VENUES:

OUR CLASSES:

They will learn the complete process of Fashion Design. Starting with Creative Thinking, learners 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 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.
