Principiante con confianza en la costura: ropa para muñecas de 18 pulgadas - Classic Costume Club

In this class we will work together to sew 4 classic costumes for 18" dolls including a spider, ladybug, alien, and pumpkin. Prior to beginning class students must already be familiar with threading and basic functions of their sewing machine.

Day 1: Picking your fabric - we will discuss types of fabric and what fabrics are appropriate for this project. Students will need to purchase (or otherwise source) the fabric and other materials for their project between day 1 and day 2.

Day 2: Cutting your pattern - will will work together to cut our fabric. We will be discussing grains and directional pattern. We will also be beginning sewing this day. Your student will need access to a sewing machine (and adult supervision as necessary) this day. We should be able to do most of the sewing during class but your child may require a bit more machine time after class if they need to finish up.

Day 3: Pumpkin construction: we will be adding to our body to create our pumpkin costume this day.

Day 4: Ladybug construction: we will be adding to our body to create our ladybug costume this day.

Day 5: Alien construction: we will be adding to our body to create our alien costume this day.

Day 6: Spider construction: we will be adding to our body to create our spider costume this day.

Please note that this is a leveled class. Each student is required to know how to accomplish the tasks in the previous levels before beginning classes of a higher level as I will no longer be covering those skills in higher level courses. If students need help learning a skill they have missed in a previous level class please message me and I can point you to a class where we teach that skill or set up a private lesson to make sure the skill is learned.
