Welcome to the exciting world of fashion design! In this activity, you'll learn how to create your own fashion designs by exploring colors, fabrics, and styles. Let's get started on your journey to becoming a young fashion designer!

Activity: Create Your Own Fashion Design

Instructions:

  1. Gather Inspiration: Look through magazines, online images, or nature to find colors and patterns that you like. Create a mood board by cutting out pictures or drawing your inspirations.

  2. Sketch Your Design: On a piece of paper, draw a simple outline of a person (a croquis). Then, sketch the clothing design you have in mind on this figure.

  3. Select Fabrics and Colors: Choose the colors and types of fabrics you want to use for your design. You can use colored pencils to shade your sketch accordingly.

  4. Add Details: Think about the small details like buttons, zippers, or patterns that will make your design unique. Add these to your sketch.

  5. Share Your Design: Show your design to family or friends and explain your choices. Ask for their feedback and think about how you might improve your design.

Materials Needed:

  • Paper

  • Pencils and erasers

  • Colored pencils or markers

  • Magazines or printed images for inspiration
