"Parisian Stroll" Sewing Curriculum
Fashion Doll Clothing for Tweens (Ages 10 & Up)
In this intermediate knit course teens will make 5 "Paris Romance" garments. Items include a Parisian Dress (with lace bow), Vintage Dress (with full circle skirt), Fierce Leggings (with fold down waist), a Romantic Lace Shrug, and a Retro Headband to fit an 18" doll.
What Students Will Learn/Experience Needed:
Students will build their skills by learning how to work with knit fabrics in this course. It's best that they have at least 6 months of sewing experience (like one of the previous teen classes working with woven fabric).
Working with knit fabrics takes a gently hand and can be more tricky for young seamstresses. The dress in this course has lace on the bottom which requires they know how to accurately sew and go with the flow of the fabric. Also the bodice is lined and the seams are tiny at 1/4" which takes advanced sewing skills.
Less experienced students will require more attention and may not have the skills to make these items, but a one-on-one class might be an option. You will want do a test class before taking on a new student though.
This course is one of the few that does not require students to make patterns. Instead you will have PDF patterns that can be printed out for your students. This is easier because on the complexity of the patterns for their ages. You do need to make sure they cut the patterns out carefully though to ensure the finished garment looks good and fits.
The step-by-step video instruction is divided into easy to watch segments ranging from 9 to 17 minutes for each class. This is perfect for a 1 to 2 hour class depending on how many students you have per class.
Course duration is 16 to 18 weekly classes (which is a total 20 to 24 hours in class) or 4 sewing summer camp full days.
