INTERFORM SEWING
In the workshops presented through INTERFORM Learn, students gain knowledge about the basic tools, terms, and techniques of sewing. They develop their skills by completing simple garments and through advanced coursework they can pursue their craft through designing and creating a collection of well finished garments. We offer basic and advanced sewing courses on both weekdays and weekends, as well as evening options, to accommodate the schedules of almost any student. After our world was hit by Covid-19, we realized the value of sewing skills as the world was panicking to find enough masks for themselves and their loved ones . One of the lessons we have learned from this pandemic is that we shouldn't let sewing die within our society, not only because it’s a fun hobby or a profession, but also because it is necessary in life.
The beginners course is the ideal place to begin for those who have interest in jumpstarting their learning in the fundamentals of sewing. These course modules cover introductory level classes in sewing, students will learn from threading needles, cutting, shaping, basic pattern making techniques to draping and also fundamentals of apparel design. They will also gain some knowledge about garment construction at the end of this course and then will develop their skills by completing simple garments.
The intermediate level course is designed for individuals who have basic knowledge in sewing, but would like to take their learning to the next level. In this course, students master the sewing machine, serger and hand sewing. They will improve their pattern making skills, while incorporating more intricate designs.
The advanced course focuses on a more professional level of sewing where modules cover more tailored garment sewing techniques, draping and further explore elements of apparel design such as shape, silhouette, texture, color, and some basic knowledge of textiles. At the end of this course, students continue developing their skills and incorporate advanced apparel design and clothing pieces.
The clothing design course is ideal for individuals who surpass the advanced level course and have an interest in diving deeper into elements of fashion design. In this course, students will focus on specific kinds of garments and exercise changing the elements of design, practice more draping to construct a garment, learn how to make a designer worksheet and at the end of the course they will make a collection of various designs of the topic. This course is designed for those students who want to become a designer or want to open a small business or work at the INTERFORM ‘MAKE’ department , the small batch manufacturing unit.
The teen bootcamp is a course for students within the age of 13-17. This workshop has been designed for young & enthusiastic teens who like to learn sewing & have an interest in fashion design.
