L.I.F.'s Journey Through Fashion Design and Construction with Various Educational Institutions |
|
Instilling pride is a key cornerstone of the LenGuire Institute of Fashions, Inc. Our students gain so much confidence and pride in themselves. The garments they complete are shown on the runway in front of parents, friends, staff, siblings and community. The process they were gradually guided through by their favorite instructors, Ms. Tanisha Otto and Ms. Patricia Taylor taught them an understanding of fashion history, design elements, sewing machine parts and usage to how to read a pattern, select appropriate fabric, calculate yardage (using fractions), read a chart to estimate sizes based on body measurements, layout a pattern using measurements and the straight grain of fabric or cross grain depending on what they were making. They actually learned much more but we will stop there. A phenomenal job done by students and staff!
