FCS Textile and Fiber Arts

Are you curious about a career in clothing construction, fashion design or other textile related field? Here you will explore the foundations of selection, characteristics, care, and repair of various textiles; commercial sewing machines and the use of a new grant-funded Serger; design, construction, and production of fabrics and/or garments; and future career opportunities in the garment & textile industry. Your creative side will flourish through guest speakers, field trips. You will also plan and carry out an entrepreneurial project using one of your fabric creations or apparel, which could become your FCCLA Star Event for Repurpose and Redesign or Entrepreneurship.
