Be your own Fashion Designer.

As seen in the images on this page, our students thoroughly enjoy creating unique and beautiful clothes. The most rewarding moment is witnessing their proud smiles when they wear their designs.

Only a few students are enrolled every year.

In this class, we welcome only those students who demonstrate understanding, talent, passion, and respect for this craft during our craft and sewing after-school programs or sewing summer camps and who have deeply valued the tradition of dressing people elegantly and appropriately since ancient times. This class opens a whole new world of creativity and opportunities.

To enroll your child in this class, follow these steps:

1. Sign Up for Sewing and Craft Academy or Summer Sewing Camps:
   The initial step is to register your child for our sewing summer camps. These camps are designed to introduce children to the basics of sewing and designing.

2. Observation of Interest and Talent:
   During the summer camps, our instructors will observe each child's enthusiasm and aptitude for sewing and designing. It's important that your child shows both a passion for and skill in these areas.

3. Receive an Invitation:
   Based on their performance and interest in the summer camps, selected children will receive an invitation to enroll in the sewing class for the entire school year. This invitation is crucial as it signifies that your child has met the prerequisites for the class.

Please note that open enrollment for the class is only available in the fall for the entire school year. Make sure to register for the summer camps early to secure a spot and provide your child with the opportunity to qualify for the year-long class.

What happens to the children who drop off this class? 

Parents think that only a few students each year manage to be enrolled, and it would be sad to waste such talent. Everyone knows the power of the group; when a student is in a creative environment, students naturally continue to create. When he leaves this environment, students usually stop creating, also how many of them are using their sewing machines at home?

How convenient is it to have your own fashionista?

Well, some of our families already enjoy the fruits of their investment. We are very grateful to these families for trusting us to be part of their children's talent development. Some of our students have been with us for several years, and now, as you can see from the images, their effort is paying them back. Can you imagine your kiddo, who yesterday was a little cut birdy, today is making a fancy garment? This happens only because of the consistent teamwork of talented students, supportive parents, and dedicated AnetaArtClasses Teachers. The longer they stay with us, the deeper their knowledge and skills become.

What do students learn from this Advanced Clothing Design and Sewing Class?

First, this class begins with making the sketch, which is essential for young talents to express their creative design ideas for their future garment or accessories. Afterward, we carefully select the materials needed for their project. Once the idea is clear and the materials are ready, we move on to patternmaking, cutting, setting up the project, and getting ready for our first tryout. We use models with adjustable measurements for that purpose. If the project needs to be adjusted, we do this so. Once everything is well set up, we proceed to the final sewing of our garment/accessory and professional finishing. During this creative process, our instructor assists and helps with different solutions and skills but lets the student be the main engine.

Who is teaching the Advanced sewing and clothing design program?

Hooray for Mrs. A (Aneta Takeva). Mrs. A is a very crafty and talented teacher with the power to create and 15 years of experience teaching crafty kids like yours. She has a degree in art and grew up in a tailor family, participating in the family tradition from a very young age. She can design almost anything from anything and the best of all is that young students are listening and following her.

The advanced Sewing and Clothing Design program is unique to Northwest suburbs.

If you live nearby, consider how unique this opportunity is for your child. This craft is quite rare these days, and those skills become impossible to learn like we used to in the past from our mothers and grandmothers.

This ongoing advanced class for young designers or tailors sharpens their sewing and craft skills, teaching them sophisticated sewing and design techniques. Our Advanced Sewing and Clothing Design classes, along with the Craft and Sewing Academy, are unique offerings in the North-West suburbs for several reasons:

• They are the only dedicated sewing and clothing design classes for children in the area.
• Unlike typical sewing companies that focus on selling machines and basic operations, our program emphasizes creativity and advanced design skills.

So imagine how blessed you are if your child is selected and invited to this class. Fashion is an industry that will be ON and ON forever and needs new creative thinkers and designers.
