About This Activity
Couturier in French means high end fashion design and sewing! In this camp, our young couturiers will learn to draw fashion, translate an idea to a design on paper, sew by hand and on a machine learning various stitches to embellish as they convert 2D ideas to 3D custom projects. Discover how to create a fashion line, label and logo, and try your hand at accessory design. Learn to draw a croquis (a quick sketch of a fashion figure) and illustrate a look on top. Use template cards of poses which include a wide range of occasions and body shapes, then design your clothing on top of the pose. Draft patterns, choose fabrics, and create custom projects like a Chef’s apron or cloak, house shoes, costume, tote bag, pillowcase and more. Our week culminates in a showcase of your designer sketchbook AND your sewing creations!
