Do you want to work from home on your own schedule and experience the joy and freedom of being an entrepreneur or independent contractor?
Ever wonder what your future would look like if you pursued your dream career or dream business in the children’s wear industry?
Search no more. In this blog post I’ll describe what Children’s Wear Design is, how you can develop a strong foundation, what skill sets are essential in the industry and how to benefit from the exciting opportunities that are available to you now in this profession. You are only limited by what your mind can conceive.
“Children’s Wear Design is the art of creating a body style design from a sketch and using that to develop a sized flat pattern and sample based on industry body measurements. This becomes your “template or basic block” for creating all other garments.”
By adding your unique style and a combination of elements such as fabrics, colors, prints, textures, trims, construction methods and unique features your garment will begin to evolve and develop.
It could be a dress, tee shirt, pant, overall, hoodie, swimsuit or jacket based on your choice of elements, they will all be fashioned to meet the needs of your target market.
In my upcoming free VIDEO SERIES I will teach you how to do this.
If your goal is to design and make children’s apparel for fun or profit, then this video series is for you. After my students completed the video series, they each took the next step and enrolled in my mini-courses in the Children’s Wear Design Academy.
Some are beginning to fulfill their dreams of opening a children’s boutique shop on Etsy, manufacturing their own children’s clothing line, working as a freelance illustrator, an independent contractor, a CAD Pattern Maker or starting an online PDF Pattern company. Others are focused on becoming children’s wear technical designers, pattern testers, sample makers, fashion bloggers and merchandisers.
The endless options are available to anyone who has a strong desire to pursue their passion, learn and monetize a new skill, work from home and enjoy the flexibility of being an entrepreneur.
