About This Activity
In this fun and creative sewing camp, kids will make everything they need for a summer sleepover. Campers will learn to confidently use a sewing machine and build their skills through hands on projects all week long. They’ll start with a pillowcase, move on to a backpack, and finish by sewing their own pajama pants or shorts. Ages 10 and up. Amie Otto is a long time quilter, sewist and fiber enthusiast. Amie's journey into the world of needle and thread began at an early age when she learned to make garments with dreams of becoming a fashion designer. Later in high school, she made her first quilt as an independent study for art class. Since then, she has honed her sewing and quilting skills through countless classes, conferences, and seminars. In 2021, she began teaching quilting and sewing to both adults and kids at Finch in Leesburg VA. She continued teaching sewing, quilting, bag making, and kid’s camps and classes until their closure in November 2023. In September of 2023, she founded Red Fox Stitchery where she teaches classes and has a small online boutique of handmade goods. In addition to her role as an instructor, Amie is an active member of several quilting and textile art communities. She frequently participates in classes, conferences, sew alongs and workshops, staying abreast of the latest trends while respecting the timeless traditions of the craft. Amie’s teaching philosophy revolves around creating a supportive, fun and inspiring environment for her students. Her classes are not just about mastering techniques; they are a celebration of creativity and self-expression. Through patient guidance and hands-on demonstrations, she empowers her students to turn fabric into masterpieces, fostering a sense of accomplishment, confidence and pride in each creation.
