My daughter is in 10th grade right now and has decided recently that she wants to study fashion design in college among other design majors. She’s been taking some art classes outside of school and is starting to prepare her art portfolio.

She has always experimented with her clothes cutting them to fit her body and reconstructing it into the shapes that she wants using fabric glues or basic hand stitching however she never had a chance to learn to sew properly.

Is it necessary for her to learn to sew before college? Maybe as a fashion design major applicant? Or is it okay to wait until she enters college?

Thank you in advance…
