Capstone

For my capstone, I decided to learn how to use a sewing machine and build up my sewing skills. I choose to start off by doing some research on garment making and creating some boards on pinterest for inspiration. I started with thrift flips and then moved on to making some pieces from scratch. I used Adobe to make visuals of what I wanted the final product to look like. My final product is a portfolio of all of the pieces I created.

I had a few main goals here. My primary goal was to learn how to sew and compile a list of resources for anyone else that would also like to know but might not know where to start. My second goal was to help make others feel good about themselves by photographing them wearing the pieces that were made. Lastly, I wanted to use this as a way to combat fast fashion and see how affordable making your own clothes can be. I found that it can sometimes be a challenge if you don’t have the resources or time.
