Summer Fashion Design Classes

Melissa with her students at OMore

 

Albuquerque Apparel Center School of Fashion Summer Classes at Hip Stitch! 

 

Thanks to everyone who requested class locations. 

We received an overwhelming response for classes 

to be held in the NE Heights and are excited to

join with Hip Stitch as our official location for

2013 Summer Fashion Design Classes!

 

Classes start May 20th and are designed for students 

from high school to second career or older. There is still time to signup, but do it fast as they are filling up fast! 

 

Various levels of classes are available from learning to set up, operate, and trouble shoot your sewing machine to creating your own patterns from a basic pattern block. 
Choose a one-day class focusing on buttonholes,

pockets, zippers, or pattern grading.  Dive in deeper with a detailed sewing class designing the perfect fit of tops, skirts and pants.  Learn to make and manipulate your own patterns.  Design Costumes for Film and Theatre. 
Don't forget undergarments!  Study their history and create a corset or other "undies" of your choice.
