Camp details
If you've never used a sewing machine, and you like to draw, then this is the camp for you!
In the morning class, you’ll make a flannel baby blanket, a pillow case, and drawstring bag.
You will learn to:
Sew safely
Thread the machine
Wind a bobbin
Make a rolled hem on your baby blanket while you get used to a 5/8" seam allowance
Learn to pin correctly on pillowcases
Make a casing for your drawstring bag
Learn to pin correctly
These skills lay a strong foundation for you to build on with future sewing projects. On Free Sew Friday let your imagination guide you while you dig in to the scrap bin of fabulous fabrics to create your choice of several small projects that you designed.
In the afternoon, you will learn the industry standard 9-head fashion figure with accurate proportions in order to create realistic fashion illustrations.
We will focus on areas that give most artists trouble: face proportions, hands, and feet ( in fabulous shoes of course)! Practice your coloring skills with light and shadow in order to really make your drawing come to life.
Look through reference books and the latest fashion magazines to inspire you to design your own outfits and accessories on your girl.
We will also practice sharing our work in a group and giving and accepting feedback, which is an important part of being an artist. We will use these constructive comments to get new ideas and find ways to improve our art.
This is going to be so much fun!
