The CHAH Fashion Club is a Stitch!

The new CHAH Fashion Club is a real stitch! Lead by Guidance Counselor Ms. Chimilio, students have worked on various shapes and sizes of "croquis". Croquis are a quick sketchy drawing of a live model. Croquis drawings are usually made in a few minutes, after which the model changes pose. The word “croquis” comes from French and means simply "sketch". A croquis is often an outline silhouette, for use by a designer.


Members also learned to create mood boards and how it taps into their creativity.




This week they learned how to knit and cast on and off a stitch. Students are all learning the basic gauge stitch.




We're working on learning the basics of sewing soon!
