Do you have a budding designer at home? Momtrends NYC recently learned about an innovative program called The Fashion Class where kids can hone in their creative skills. This program holds sewing and fashion design classes for children and teenagers ages six through 18 who learn how to use a sewing machine and create garments for themselves.
Some projects include mini-skirts, t-shirts, PJ pants, and dresses. Located in the garment center (with another location in Brooklyn), they visit fabric stores once per course so the students can choose their own fabric. Not just a sewing class students learn all about design too! They decorate their creations with trim, ribbon, feathers, beads and the ever-popular Be-dazzler. Each course ends with a fashion runway show where students model their creations down the runway.
