I took a semester of Textiles and Clothing with a great teacher, in high school. I learned a lot in her class. I learned to do princess seams, putting a zipper in with out wrinkles, working with a napped fabric, and matching plaids. The things I made were a princess seamed dress in a yellow fabric that I put a zipper in, a cordaory pantsuit , and a plaid skirt and matching vest. The vest reversed to a solid that was the background of the plaid. I got many comliments on my items and I got an A+ for the semester.I wanted to take it again to learn more but the school said no.
