FASHION FORWARD - TEENS ON THE RUNWAY OCTOBER 20th
Each participant must design and show an original piece of clothing in one of three categories:
- Fast Forward – present a vision of a futuristic look
- Pause for Effect – design an outfit that would be trendy today
Classic Replay – showcase a remake of a vintage design
Either a single garment or entire outfit will qualify but the work must be that of the participant. We’ll expect each participant to plan and construct the garment elements featured in the show. The use of commercial patterns is allowed as long as the participant has added unique design details. Participants who want assistance or instruction in fashion design or sewing techniques can take advantage of the fashion design classes at DeCordova Museum or the sewing clinics offered at the Sewing Café at Quilter’s Way. If a participant would prefer not to take part in the runway component of the show, a friend is permitted to model in the participant’s place.
DeCordova Museum and the Sewing Café at Quilter’s Way are delighted to be partnering for this unique event.
We expect it to be a very special night. The event will be open to the public and professionally photographed. In addition, we hope to have professional makeup and hair stylists prepare the models for the runway. Prizes will be awarded to the top designers in each category.
Space will be limited. Download and complete the registration form and return it to us by September 1, 2008 to reserve your spot.

NEW! SEWING CAFE AT QUILTER'S WAY
The
Sewing Cafe is a unique concept, a sewing studio that encourages experienced
and beginning sewers alike to socialize and sew. These days, too many
of us yearn for a way to express our creative side but we lack the
uninterrupted time and space needed to bring the dream to life. The
goal of the Sewing Cafe is to build a creative community that supports
inspiration and expression, as well as practical know-how. At the Sewing
Cafe, you’ll find a bright and airy space and a knowledgeable staff that you can count on. Plus, you’ll
have access to the latest tools and equipment, friendly advice and,
most importantly, time and space!
Amenities
Whether you want to learn to sew or quilt,
practice a new technique or simply enjoy some
time with friends, the Sewing Cafe is the place
to be. Designed to meet the needs of busy people,
the Sewing Cafe provides all the sewing equipment
and tools you’ll
need to complete almost any sewing project.
For a resonable hourly fee($5), you can forget
about hauling all your supplies with you. In
addition to ten individual sewing tables, the
Sewing Cafe is stocked with the following:
- 6-foot square cutting table
- 2-foot x 4-foot cutting table
- Quilting rulers and templates
- Scissors and sewing supplies
- Ironing boards and irons
- Design surfaces on every wall
- Dress forms
