The Village Voice

The next time your tweens pressure you for new clothes, why not suggest they make their own? Taking a slower approach to fast style, “Fashion Design and Sewing” at The Fashion Class on the Upper West Side offers an 11-session winter course designed to teach your kids to make a handbag, skirt, dress, or pants and adorn them using bedazzlers, fabric paint, and trim. The course culminates in a fashion show during which students model their wares.
