Background
Welcome back to Fashion Design class! This year you will jump back into designing garments and delving deeper into the specifics of the fashion world. 

Project Description
Your assignment is to create an advanced garment design to hone your finishing skills. This will take you at least the first few months of school and it should have impeccable quality. You will work from a pattern of your own choosing (you may alter the pattern). It's important that you choose 

Working with a pattern is not easy and can be quite frustrating. It will be your responsibility to learn how to use the pattern and to research any stitches or techniques that you are unfamiliar with. Please ask me after you have done a little research or watched a few tutorial videos.

Quality Specs

• French seams when available (or another seam finish you desire)
• Stitches should be straight
• Use a 2-3 stitch length
• All loose threads cut
• No raw edges shown
• Topstitching if appropriate
• Don't forget to pre-shrink fabric
• PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!
