Fashion & Accessory Design Course for Young Stitches
Join us for a fun, hands-on journey into the world of fashion and accessory design, where imagination, creativity, and personal style come to life.
Using a strengths-based approach, each participant works on their own individual sewing project - supported, encouraged, and celebrated every step of the way.
Young designers may choose from a range of creative makes, including:
stuffed toys
clothes for their toys
skirts or shorts for themselves
heat packs
hair accessories
…or any discuss any project their imagination sparks with Simone to see what is possible.
We’ll begin by sketching ideas, planning designs, and choosing fabrics before bringing each creation to life by hand-sewing technique and on the sewing machine.
Whether you're a budding designer or simply love making things, this course is the perfect place to explore your style, build confidence, and learn new sewing skills.
