If you have taken the Apparel Merchandising module, you have already learned how to use a sewing machine and made your reuseable shopping bag. If you haven't, please take a class in high school such as Fashion Design or Sewing that will teach you this valuable skill. Here are some free sewing patterns that can help you get started!
