My Project

We are thrilled to present a unique opportunity for our fashion marketing students to expand their skill set and unleash their creativity through the acquisition of embroidery machine tools and upgrade their workspace

With your support, we can empower our students to explore the world of embroidery and enhance their understanding of the fashion industry.

By providing embroidery machine tools for our fashion marketing class, we aim to achieve the following goals: Our students will have hands-on experience in creating embroidered designs, allowing them to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This will enrich their understanding of the fashion industry, designers, buyers, and manufacturers. Embroidery is a key element in visual merchandising, as it adds depth, texture, and visual interest to garments and accessories.

Students will learn about personalized branding. Embroidery machine tools such as thread, hoops, needles, stabilizers, thread rack, storage containers and carrying cases will enable our students to create custom designs, logos, and branding elements for fashion products. This skill is highly sought after in the industry, as it allows businesses to differentiate themselves and establish a unique identity in the market. By acquiring this skill, our students will be better prepared for future careers in fashion marketing, sales, product development, financial literacy, and management.

Having the necessary tools and workspace will prepare students for the fashion industry and build entrepreneurial skills.
