=Welcome to Fashions 2: Introduction to Fashion Design =

Welcome to Fashions II with Mrs. McManus. I hope you all have been practicing what you learned in Fashions I: Sewing Basics, because you'll be needing all of it for this class. We will start with intermediate sewing techniques and simple garment patterns, work on basic and intermediate textiles and their uses, dyeing processes (types of dyes and dyeing techniques), prints (types of prints and types of printing), proper garment fit, types of garments in menswear and women’s wear, and basic design techniques (fashion sketching, using a croquis, understanding silhouette and line). The class final project will be altering a pattern for design. This class will be split between classroom and lab time, and have regular out-of-class homework assignments. This site will be the platform for homework and out-of-school contact with me, Mrs. McManus. I hope you all enjoy this semester!
