Spotlight-Clothing Exploration

There are many electives that students can take here at SJHS. One of those electives is Clothing Exploration. Clothing Exploration is a class where you can sew anything from aprons to bags! Ms.Bird, who is also a CTE teacher, teaches this class. It is a class for one semester and is open for eighth graders and ninth graders. 

Anna Allen, an eighth grader who takes Clothing Exploration, said, “I’ve learned a lot from this class. We have learned about textiles and fabrics so we can be better consumers. I also like how we get to work on our own pace and are always keeping busy.” 

Lexi Rogers, also an eighth grader taking Clothing Exploration, said, “We get to make cool things that we use in everyday life.” According to Ms.Bird, the class has made pajama pants, and a gym bag. They are now making a reversible apron and soon will have a mystery project where they can make anything they want to.

Mariah Skinner, an eighth grader who takes Clothing Exploration, loves this class and loves the serger, and says this is a really good class to take if you love to sew.
