Design Academy: 12 Layers Of P

The Liberty Jane Clothing Design Academy teaches Cinnamon Miles' 12 Principles Of Design.

Dear Amazon Shoppers,
Some people wonder how I'm able to sell my doll clothes on eBay for over $400. 

They just can't understand it. Effective design is a huge part of the answer. Of course it takes high quality sales and marketing, but design is a critical part as well. 

I guess I was lucky, when I was eight I became incredibly focused on sewing doll clothes for my 17-inch Kimberly doll. She needed clothes, and I wanted to learn how to make her everything I saw in catalogs and magazines. I was passionate. Luckily my mom had worked as a seamstress for a fashion label in Los Angeles. She was a terrific teacher.

By coincidence my grandma had a friend who worked for Bob Mackie my original inspiration, and she'd give me scraps of material to use for my projects. Those lucky breaks allowed me to get an amazing education in doll clothes construction and design. I've refined and enhanced those techniques over the years.

All these years later, I am still passionate about sewing doll clothes.

So why should you buy this ebook? The Design Academy ebook is the boiled down, systematically outlined 12-step process I learned from these gifted experts. It's my way of passing on what I've learned. It's written so that everyone can understand it - even elementary school girls. I don't just describe each layer of design, I show you beautifully illustrated examples, based on my work, so that you can learn and apply every layer. If you want to learn how to do what I do, then this book is a great start. 

This book presents the 12 layers of design, in a chapter format, as information. There are no worksheets, fill-in-the-blanks, or exercises to complete - just an in-depth explanation of the 12 layers of design. The Design Academy course is a 1 month program, with exercises, assignments, and activities designed to help you understand and implement the 12 layers. If you want information - the book is for you. If you want to be my student and participate in a one month workshop filled with fun instruction and comradere with other students, then you'll want to sign up for the full Design Academy course - you can find that information on Pixie Faire.

The information in the book, and the Design Academy are both focused on actually creating outfits, and the elements involved in making effective outfits, not drawing or pattern making.

I hope you enjoy the book!
