Throwback: The White Shirt Project
Throwback to Birmingham City University first year students White Shirt Project.
I do love this project; the focus is on cut, silhouette and design as opposed to colour and print. Although these are also important, its good to think about clean lines and simplicity.
Take a look at a few examples below from the first years:

Introduction to Sewing at MAC Birmingham
We had a very busy Saturday at MAC Birmingham teaching my introduction to sewing course. We covered a lot of technical samples in the morning to help understand how pieces are made.
In the afternoon, we moved on to specific samples featuring darts, pleats and miniature tote bags to test our new found skills.
The following week focussed on making a piece of clothing that featured some the techniques from the week before. Its always good to text the skills by making something from start to finish.
The final pieces looked great! Take a look at what everyone created below:
Everyone did really well as a lot only had a little experience with sewing and using a sewing machine. Hopefully, everyone feels more confident now and ready for the Great British Sewing Bee! ;)
