Textile Art Class, by Carla Buchanan, Business Brandings

Business Brandings-Textile Art Class

by Carla Buchanan, carla@sewing.com

These are images from our Textile Arts class.  The girls sewed a wrap around on the sewing machine. They then stamped it and tie dyed it. Then each give was assigned a "job" in an apparel manufacturing company. The day ended with a textile lab where the girls made fabric selection sheets, burned fabric to test for fabric content, and preformed a bleach test.
There are more sewing classes for the Girl Scout Council of Orange County coming up.
http://www.gscoc.org/calendar, keep checking back for more classes, as they are added often. Or, you can email me, Carla Buchanan, Business Brandings, carla@sewing.com.
The fee for the class is only $35, and it includes all materials.
