Fashion classes at Higher Ground

June 14th through the 16th Higher Ground Learning offered a fashion workshop for teens. Amber and I had the opportunity to teach this summer class and we had a great time. The goal of the week was to reduce, reuse, and recycle. It was so inspiring to see what these young designers came up with.

Monday's challenge was to create something completely new and different from a simple ol' white t-shirt. The girls were given dye, scissors, and a sewing machine then went to work.

Sneha
Ambre and tied side seams

Riah
Fabulous fringed vest

Tuesday, the students were given old pillow cases and some ribbon to embellish these fabulous skirts they made.

Bailey
Flower and lace pillowcase

Rachel
Chic and sassy

Claire
Gathered and gorgeous

Wednesday, old clothes were dumped onto a table and the girls had to alter, cut, tear, dye, embellish and accessorize a new outfit.

McCall
Stunning in studs

Angela
Fancy in frills

Lookin' good in linen

Thursday, the girls were given old buttons, zippers, bottle caps, and other recycled objects to make earings, pins, other jewelry and hair accessories.

Friday was the Fashion Show! I was so proud of these fabulous students. They did such a great job!
