I teach a 3-year Sewing and Clothing Manufacturing course at a career center in an urban area. My high school students have applied and earned a place in my program and want to work in the world of fashion. We are currently in virtual learning for most likely the rest of the year. Unfortunately, they cannot learn the basics of sewing at home without a machine and I am unable to send class machines home as they are industrial machines. For my students to succeed in their first year of my program, they need to learn how to use a sewing machine and how to sew clothing from a pattern this year. By having a machine, patterns, and fabric in front of them, I will be able to teach them virtually how to use a basic machine, how to read and use a pattern, and how to construct clothing and other projects. This will ensure that they continue to be engaged in this class as hands-on learners as well as keep them on track for their next year as a Level 2 student. Sewing and Clothing Manufacturing is meant to be a hands-on course. I would like to keep this course hands-on as much as possible during this difficult time in the students' lives.
