Best Fashion Design Photo for Summer of "08"

Just for fun, every summer I pick a favorite photograph for the summer camps we offer in 3 different areas (open sewing, fashion design, and Project RUNWAY). 

Making accessories plays a big part in fashion design.  I love how this photograph shows each student (designer) and their headband they designed.  You girls could open up your own accessories boutique! Nice job girls!

Our most popular project to make this summer was the terry cloth bathing suit wrap.  I saw this while I was in Orlando, and said to myself, "My students can make this!" I came home and designed it and put it on our summer wall.  Very popular and nice item for kids to sew.

Very Cool denim hat she sewed up!

Mary made this adorable quick and easy summer dress.  She designed it the way she wanted with the pockets and bows.  She even added a ribbon in her hair to match.

Maggie made the same dress but will use it as a bathing suit cover-up.  How cute!

Cute peasant blouse and matching headband!

Once again, sewing and designing accessories plays a big part in fashion design. You can make this awesome lined purse too!

Rebecca decided to challenge herself and work with knit fabric.  Working with knit is very different because knit fabric stretches. Cotton fabric does not.

Natalie's adorable pin stripped skirt with a side zipper she made!

"Are you Fabulous?" These girls made the pool cover up that Sharpey wore in Disney's High School Musical 2!  Great job girls!

Another group of girls who designed and made headbands.  Great job girls!

These girls made these adorable pajama shorts from soft comfy flannel fabric.  They learned how to sew a hem, an elastic waist band, and why we seam finish!  Awesome Girls!

Samantha designed and made her outfit.  She made a cute summer tank top, and denim short with embellishments to match her top.  Great job Samantha.

More of the ever so popular terry cloth bathing suit cover-up!

Leslie's dress is one of my favorites that a student made this summer.  The color and style that she picked really compliments her hair and skin tone and the style of the dress looks fantastic on her.

I am so proud of Ali and how she made this adorable outfit! She spent a whole week with us for all day fashion design camp.  Students can really excel in sewing and the techniques when they are here all day and have more time to study and learn. 

Heather spent some time on her terry cloth bathing suit cover-up.  She added ribbon, buttons, and appliquéd her name on it.

Once again I felt this student picked a very good fabric and color for her skin tone and hair color for the summer top she made.  I love it when students can naturally pick fabrics and colors that compliment themselves! Great job!
