Project Runway Jr.
A few years ago, my oldest was in the Mentor Program at school. She and her friend really wanted Fashion Design. They were unable to find a mentor so I stepped in. With years of designing clothes for myself and my family, and my dream of going to Parsons when I was younger. I knew I could stand up to the position.
With Project Runaway having just become so popular, everyone wants to be a designer. They think it's glamours. But, little do they know the work and time that go into it. These girls certainly knew what it would take to make a line and have their own Project Runway Jr.

**First they had to come up with a theme throughout their line , which they chose African-Asian. This was after seeing the fabric that was available at JoAnn's. **Next was drawing out the design on paper.
** Then drawing and cutting a pattern out of Muslin fitting it to the doll, before cutting it out of the purchased fabric. You want to make sure it works before the expensive of the fabric.
**After the first fitting, they cut out of the fabric, and then were taught to sew. I chose not to teach buttonholes this time around. So they used Velcro and snaps to secure.
**They then fitted the actual garment to the doll,and added any final touches.

Being a big fan of Project Runway and unable to sew anything other then a button or a hem, you gave the girls a real gift. Understanding the design process at a young age can really open future opportunites for them that they don't even realize.
Well done...to all of you!
Looks like the girls have talent and they selected a great mentor.
Very nice job indeed!!
