Skills required: Students MUST be at least 11 years old and have completed at least one week of Basics of Sewing Camp or a month of sewing classes by the start date of this camp. Ages 11 -17 will make a hoodie with front zipper. Students will be able to choose from a variety of light to heavy weight fabrics in a variety of colors and prints. They will learn to stabilize knit fabric for making zipper installation a breeze. They will also learn to use rib-knit fabric to make cool, comfy cuffs. Sewing machines are supplied, but students may bring their own sewing machine. Upon completion of their hoodie, students will be able to choose (with guidance) what they work on for the remainder of the week from a variety of patterns and fabrics. The number of projects each student finishes during a session will depend upon the skill level of the student and the difficulty of the projects they choose.
