Course Description
This course offers the opportunity to sew. The student will leave this
class feeling comfortable with hand sewing and machine sewing.
Students will be exposed to different tools that are available to
support the sewing process and learn how to troubleshoot the
sewing machine. We will look at the history of sewing from the ice
ages to the development of sewing machines during the Industrial
Revolution and see where sewing technology is headed. The bulk
of this class will be focused on making various products that
eventually accumulate sewing experience to efficiently create a
simple garment piece. Students are required to speak and engage
in discussions prompted by the instructor that relate to the world
of fashion.
