About This Activity
Campers will learn to translate an idea to a design on paper, sew by hand and on a machine under carefully managed sewing machine time. They will learn basic pattern making skills, safety skills and how to create patterns for their designs. Once patterns are made campers will construct their designs using hand-sewing techniques and simple sewing machine stitches (straight and zigzag). At the end of the week, they will create a custom project from start to finish. Examples of projects include: plush toy, tote bag, house shoes, apron, play cape and mask, pillowcase, and more! Sewing machines, fabric, and all sewing tools are provided. Students will take home their own personal sewing kit. Maximum of 10 students per camp.
