This course takes the student through the process from initial stages of design to completion of a garment. Looking forward to the result wanted and then working back from there to establish a good starting point.
1) Inspiration & Ideas: Guiding you through the process of understanding your own ideas and likes and creative style. Finding a way to express that outwardly.
2) Illustration & Design: Learning drawing techniques to express onto paper. Resulting in a working drawing of what it is you will make. Creating a design that will easily be interpreted into a garment and know that it is possible.
3) Pattern making: Measurements, style lines, sizing, seam allowances, getting all the pieces together and in accordance with each other to form a complete garment.
4) Mock up and fitting: Trial workings of the pattern and getting fit right. Cutting & sewing techniques. Adjusting the original pattern from the mockup trial. Finalising final garment fabric.
5) Construction: Putting the garment together and steps involved in the process, what gets sewn before what else… thinking through the process to the finishing of the garment.
6) Finishing: Finishing well on the inside and the outside…adding closures and hemming, for complete work.
Please bring along art supplies, study notebooks, and stationery.
Students to provide their own fabric and accessories for the mockup and final garment.

Background of Jenny Lyn Walker.
Owner and Operator of YBe Gallery in Pt Chevalier, Fashion Designer and Inspirational Motivator.
I am an entrepreneur who is very passionate and committed to helping people along their path and helping to inspire the creative energy that is within us all and to bring it out and let it shine forth for all to see and take part in, all the while letting that help us continue on our own paths of expression and heal our lives and follow our dreams. The result of this is to live a happy life and be connected to others and be part of a community spirit yet being able to be the unique individual that each of us is within that.
I have been professionally involved in Fashion Design for 8 years now, however it has been a lifetime journey connecting Arts, Culture, Languages, Nature and Fashion. I make garments for people that are custom designed and help to uniquely express each person and their journey. I use many different techniques such as screen-printing, hand-painting, weaving, quilting and distinctive fabrics to create unique and one off pieces for customers as well as ready to wear garments and also sculptural collectible pieces of work. I have a background in arts, languages, teaching, creative fields, entrepreneurship, business, running design workshops and Inspirational motivating, guest speaking and healing work. Also bringing together of peoples and communities in order to collaborate and create spectacular events with a fusion of likeminded people and celebration of life, fashion, art, dance and music.
Come along on this brilliant path of light and love and experience the blessing that is life and learning. Be a part of the YBe and Jenny connection and help to make that grow and spread out further and further into our world.
See you soon!
