Friday - May 1-May 29 4:00-5:30pm
Ages: 6-12
Description: Students will create an overall-style garment using a pre-made pattern available in sizes S, M, and L. The design is simplified for beginners—no hardware (no zippers, buttons, or snaps) and minimal seams, with no side seams to make the construction process smoother. The overall will have a relaxed, jumpsuit-like feel. We will be working with non-stretch (woven) fabrics to help students build foundational sewing skills and better understand structure and fit. Students can choose their preferred length, either shorts or full-length pants, allowing for some creativity and personalization within the project.
Teaching Focus: This class focuses on building confidence, learning foundational sewing skills, and completing a wearable garment.
Week 1: Machine Basics Learn machine parts, threading, and basic stitches. Practice on paper and fabric.
Week 2: Pattern + Cutting Understand pattern pieces and cut fabric for bib, body, straps, and loops.
Week 3: Straps + Bib Sew straps and loops, construct the bib, and attach components.
Week 4: Assembly Sew main garment body and attach bib and straps.
Week 5: Finishing Hem garment, try on, and complete tie straps.
Parent Requirements: Upstairs - drop off & sign in all students; pick up and sign out all students; Parents are free to stay for the class to assist your child; parents will be called to pick up their child immediately if there is an attitude or discipline issue.
Materials Included: Sewing machines, fabrics and all necessary tools and materials
Location: All classes take place UPSTAIRS in our CREATIVE SPACE unless otherwise noted. Use the exterior stairs on the side of the building to enter.
Instructor: Jessica Vazquez is a Los Angeles–based fashion designer, tailor, and educator. Her work spans custom garment construction, on-set tailoring, and fashion education, with experience supporting both emerging designers and high-profile clients. She has formal training in fashion design and construction through Fashion Careers International and Los Angeles Trade Technical College (LATTC), with additional coursework from FIDM. With a strong foundation in pattern-making, draping, and alterations, Jessica approaches design with a balance of technical precision and creativity. She is especially passionate about sustainability and often incorporates up-cycling into her work, transforming existing garments into new, intentional designs. Alongside her industry work, Jessica teaches sewing and design, encouraging creativity, confidence, and hands-on learning while helping students bring their ideas to life.
