I'm 15 and want to see if being a fashion designer is something I want to do for the rest of my life. Where can I get started? Is there a way I can start making clothes and selling them as a summer job?

I reccomend learning more about designing before beginning. It's harder than it looks.

Learn to sew. There are sewing classes in some schools. Make clothes and sell them a flea markets and garage sales. It's a start! Then copyright your designs.

At 15 you may be able to take a community college class for textile & design, If your parents help you sign up.
It will teach you how to tell what type of fabric something is w/o a label, how to read patterns. How to lay out. All kinds of hand sewing techniques etc. Alot of classes/ programs have field trips to bigger art schools which have 4 year design degrees.
Good luck!

Buy a sewing mechine, get some pattern, learn to sew. If u like to do that, then you'll no if you want to persue that as a career. At first it may seem difficult but it's so easy. I'm 21 and I sew. I'm still a beginner but very proud of the things I've made. You can also take a sewing class in school, and see if your school offer classes like that.

Well first you need to drw them out. And if you know how to sew then sew it, then if not take a class or get someone esle to do it then teach you. But when you do go to the flea market ad sell them. I would be happy to buy them. If you live in Augusta then it's this store that buy clothes from you.

Sure. Make some items and take them to a local boutique or even a consignment shop, you know, to get your work seen and known. If you are good and people like your stuff, that is how you can start a customer base.
