Develop an appreciation for clothing styles seen around the world, the influence of weather, culture, traditions and norms.
Learn basic skills in construction as they explore age-appropriate techniques in sketching, measuring, hand and machine sewing and embellishing.
Build confidence as they use their natural 'cat-walk' to share and show-off their creation in a fun fashion show.
