Where Fashion Meets Fun: Kid-Friendly Classes!
All supplies are included in the class fee, and students get to take home everything they create. Students complete wearable projects each session. Each year brings the opportunity for new and different projects. Many students come back year after year to continue learning and to deepen their skills. Students have gone on to the Governor’s School of Art, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Radford University, Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), Pratt University and Parsons School of Design. But the real proof of competence is from the hands-on work the kids produce.
Fashion Design for Kids: Creativity that fits!
Since 2014, Little Stitch Studio has been dedicated to providing a fashion education that blends skill-building with self-expression. Whether students dream of becoming designers or simply want to learn a valuable lifelong skill, we are here to support and inspire them every step of the way.
