Fashion After School by Sew-N-Know
Fashion after school is not just about playing dress up! These children learn how to sketch and design, construct a garment, model, and accessorize their creations. The program fosters creativity and entrepreneurship in students of all ages interested in fashion. At the end of the program we have a fashion show where students can't wait to showcase their hard work - the show is always cute and entertaining. Fashion after school is meant to help develop the talent in all our little fashionistas!
