We will plan knit or crochet sleeves and a collar or scarf to complete it. Students will measure each other\, draft their pattern\, then combine yarn and stitch pattern (knit or crochet) to coordinate with the fabric. Various design concepts and combination techniques will be discussed in class. \nThe Creative Process: From Inspiration to Planned Garment\nFriday\, February 22nd\, 2019 at 9:00 am – 12:00 pm Friday 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm \nThis workshop will take you through the creative process\, from storyboarding ideas to developing a plan for a group of garments that work with your figure and your sense of style. No art background necessary! Learn how to ideate and create. You will develop an inspiration board of ideas\, and then move on to plan the fabrication (knit\, crocheted\, or sewn)\, color story\, styles\, and fabrics/swatches for a group of garments. This is the process typically used to design a line of clothing.\n\nIt is all about Me!\nSaturday\, February 23rd\, 2019 at 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm \nThrough a series of exercises and activities Susan will help you determine what styles and which knit or crochet fabrics work with your figure\, face\, and lifestyle. Working through this process in a classroom filled with other real bodies is empowering. You’ll see beyond measurements\, to proportion\, and discover the magic of garment shape and line. We’ll explore a variety of topics that will help you make better design decisions and allow you to actually wear the garments you knit or crochet!
