School's out for summer but that doesn’t mean the learning has to stop. Join us as we explore the world of sewing during this fun summer sewing camp open to ages 13-18. Camp will be in session July 15th, 16th, 17th from 9-11am. This camp will cover all the basics of sewing so your teen will feel confident to sew their own projects the rest of the summer.

Day One: 

Campers will learn the basics of their machine on day one. From threading, to bobbin filling, to practicing stitches in a fun group setting.

Day Two:

Day two we will be putting our day one skills into practice by making a fun reusable bag. This project teaches students hemming, french seams, and how to add a string closure. Day two wraps with us starting our big project, sewing apparel!

Day Three:

Day three we are using all of our skills to complete our big project! Together we will sew a garment! All campers will be sent home with a digital workbook to help them continue their sewing journey at home.

What to bring:

A sewing machine, a notebook and pencil for taking notes, and a water bottle to stay hydrated. Everything else is provided. 

This workshop takes place in our Denton storefront located at 118 E McKinney St, Denton, TX.
