Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to work with talented students who create portfolios for NYC specialized art high schools, but many of my students are interested in a fashion design and sewing program and we lack the supplies. As a part of this beginner fashion and sewing program, students will use the Dritz Sew You adjustable dress forms, straight pins, and magnetic pin cushions to create clothing designs. They will use the SINGER M1500 Mechanical Sewing Machine and sewing threads to sew their fashion designs together. They will use premium hand sewing needles and threads to practice hand sewing techniques.

I have noticed, that my students are much more engaged with hands on activities, and have approached me seeking a fashion design program.

Students have expressed interest in fashion design, and being that I have a bachelors degree in fashion design, I am qualified to teach this program. I think all students who have interest, should be encouraged and nurtured in this type of hands-on learning through sewing and fashion design. As the only arts professional in my small Title I school, I am hoping to expand my programming beyond the boundaries of visual art, to include design and sewing, to support engagement, possible career readiness, and to build design skills. I believe offering this intro to fashion and sewing program will better prepare my students for the future, and at the very least offer another much needed creative outlet. My students are curious, creative, and driven, and above all, so deserving of this type of programming. Being that our school does not have funding for this, I am hoping to be supported in this endeavor through Donors
