After-School Pattern-Making and Sewing Club! Math and Art!
Funded Aug 31, 2017
I cannot believe that in just 4 short days we managed to raise $599 thanks to your generosity. There are a lot of causes to send money to, and I know that sewing may not be the top of anyone's priorities, but I truly do believe that students want this club and are going to benefit immensely from it. I will also benefit as their teacher and look forward to helping students unleash their creative potential! Wooooooo!!!!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Graham

If this project is funded I will be able to run an after-school flat pattern-making club which will allow students to draft up patterns for skirts, bodices, sleeves, collars, and pants before sewing them in muslin. Students will use mathematics and learn to use a variety of tools with precision while fueling their fashion designer dreams! Students will meet once per week after school for an hour. We will begin the course by drafting the basic skirt sloper, either for students' own measurements, a friend's, or a standard industry-sized model. From here students will learn how to move darts and manipulate the sloper to add volume (i.e. flared skirt, circle skirt), pleats, ruffles, gathers, godets, style lines, etc. We will then move to creating and manipulating the basic bodice sloper, before learning to add a variety of sleeves and collars. As a teacher with a background in the Arts I am a firm believer in the power of an Arts curriculum in school; as a current Math teacher I can think of no better form of art that combines both fields in an accessible way.
