Camp Course Description

HEY KIDS,  KIDS CAMPS -
THE BASICS OF SEWING JUST ABOUT ANYTHING

​

Campers will begin by making an easy environmentally friendly lunch bag to learn or review the basics of cutting, finishing seams, and sewing straight lines. Having mastered the basics, campers will then make a pillowcase to master the basics with the addition of topstitching and using decorative stitching to personalize projects. Campers will then learn to read a pattern while making a backpack which includes techniques for creating a drawstring casing and attaching web straps. Finally, zipper, interfacing, and lining techniques will be used to make a case that could also be used as a pencil case or to keep small sewing items in one place! Experts who whiz through these projects will have time to begin a project of their choice - pajama pants, a beach bag, or a project approved by the instructor. 

​

Note: If you have already attended one of our kids camps you are welcome to choose a project of your choice and our instructor will guide you through completing the project.  Please make sure that we have approved the project in advance to ensure it as well as the fabric are appropriate.
