sewing classes atlanta ga
I want to start my own handbag line 1day but there aren't any schools in Atlanta,GA where I can take classes?
on how to construct handbags from a clean slate. I've tried Bauder College, Art Institue, AIU, SCAD, and no fashion schools offer it in Atlanta,GA. I'm not willing to relocate just for two classes. I already have a degree in fashion design, so I already know how to sew. So does anyone know where I can go in Atlanta,GA (boutique shops, someone personally, schools etc.) that I can get in contact with on how to make handbags. I'm even willing to intern, I want to kno how to patternmake the handbags, construct them, I want to know everything. My focus is luxurious looking handbags such as snake skin, ostrich, leather,crocodile skin etc. but I've started off with trying to make clutches using faux leather, vinyl, and faux ostrich of course by using bought patterns, but bought patterns only go so far in style. Please let me know I'm ready to start school or learn as soon as possible, THANKS!!!
Why not work with an experienced patternmaker who does handbags?
Are you reading at http://www.fashion-incubator.com? It's written by a patternmaker specializing in leather who works with small businesses like yours. And yes, you need her book.
