Basic of Stitching

For the professional fashion designer, competent sewing skills are an absolute must. Which is why anyone looking to break into the fashion industry should first master at least the basics of sewing clothes. The kinds of sewing skills fashion design demands are entirely different from those you may already be familiar with. In order to create, alter, repair, refine and embellish your designs, your sewing knowledge must be taken to a much higher level. At the same time, understanding the basic of stitching is not only essential for career growth but also a lifelong skill set that makes your investment of time and effort worthwhile.
