Clothing Construction

Have you ever seen an outfit and wanted it in a different color or style that wasn’t available in the store? Or have you tried on an outfit and needed it hemmed to fit just right?  Then the clothing construction project is what you are looking for. This project will teach you the basics such as sewing a shirt or putting a zipper on a pair of pants. The advanced units will teach you how to take a design of your choice and customize it for the perfect look, color and fit.  So when your friends ask you where did you get that amazing outfit, you can say with pride, “I designed and constructed it myself".
