A successful entrepreneur knows that creating the product is only 10% of the work, selling it is 90% of the work. Entrepreneurs can be manufacturers producing a line and selling it to others, a store owner producing a line and selling it in the owner’s store or a store owner selling clothes from independent designers. All need to know how a well-made garment is designed and produced—as well as how to market it.

Sometimes the most frustrating element of sewing is understanding fit. In this class we will take proper body measurements and learn how they correspond with the various pattern brands. We will also learn the terms and techniques commonly used on patterns and how to understand the instructions.
Students will learn an extensive range of hand stitches, how to shape a garment foundation, design and tailor a variety of pocket styles, design and shape lapels and collars, and how to set structured roped sleeves.
This class introduces students to the business of fashion from the perspective of an entrepreneur. You will be introduced to the process of starting your fashion design business, and some of the issues and hurdles you will encounter as a fashion entrepreneur starting a fashion collection or brand.
This lab course introduces students to Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop as they are used in fashion and textile design. These digital tools allow students to build on fundamental sketching techniques using pixels instead of paint.
