Presented by Bridgette Burke,
Founder, Designer, and Educator at Studio Time Dallas
While we are building Designer U, we are currently holding hands-on, small-group tutoring sessions for fashion students, emerging designers, and sewing creatives who need professional guidance while developing their own projects.
​
Bring your project, pattern, garment, or technical challenge and use the session to get focused assistance with construction, pattern development, sewing techniques, fit, and other fashion-related skills.
​
Each three-hour session provides personalized instruction in a collaborative professional studio environment. Participants work on their own projects while receiving guidance and technical support throughout the session.
This Is for the Designer Who...
Already Knows How to Dream
Maybe you can sketch.
Maybe you can sew.
Maybe you've even made a collection.
​
You know fashion. You just want to know more.
Wants to Understand The How
You want practical answers to the things that happen between the idea and the finished garment.
Pattern development. Construction. Fit. Production. Business.
