Fashion Design

I'm taking a course in the Fashion Design department at California College of the Arts, where I work. The course is called "Basic Garment Construction". Class is from 5pm to 10pm Mondays and Wednesdays for 2 months, ending at the beginning of August. The class consists of brief demos of different applications of stitches and constructions, followed by hours of sewing. So far I've made pockets, zippers, waistbands, hand-stitches and more. I'm getting to the point where I could make clothes from scratch. Previously, I had never used a sewing machine. Now, I'm not too shabby. But, it's pretty intense to work a full day at the office and then top it off with 5 hours of applied coursework.

Pictured here is the room in which I take the class.

Next week I have to construct a skirt. Who wants to be my model?
