How to Make a Fashion Design Notebook

{{nfd|dup|Create-a-Fashion-PortfolioEver wanted to design fabulous fashion pieces, but didn't know where to start? Then you came to the right place!

Go to a local store such as Wal-Mart, and purchase a sketchbook with 70+ pages, depending on how many sketches you plan on doing.

Get fabric swatches or print out patterns that would make pretty fabric. Paste them on the first page. Under each swatch, label the patterns, such as pattern 001, 002, and so on.

Turn the page. Write the name of your collection on that page. For example, if you are doing fancy prom dresses, try something like 'A Night to Remember'. Then, turn the page.

Draw a design using a dress form. Look up online 'how to draw a dress form' if you need help. Sketch your design. Write possible prices to the side. Then write what fabrics would it be 'available in' so if you ever do sew it, you know which fabrics to use.

Tips

• You can always just color it with colored pencils if you want it simpler.
• To get wild fabrics cheaper, go to a local carpeting store, and ask if they have any old sample books you can have.
