Calling all future fashion designers, aged 10-14!!!
*LEVEL 1 CAMP: All sewists age 10-14 are welcome*
Learn to sew from an experienced, enthusiastic and FUN sewing teacher. During this 5-day workshop, you will get super comfortable with the sewing machine AND hand sewing, and learn fabric types, pattern layout, cutting, and sewing techniques that can take you far in the wonderful and creative world of sewing!
Make projects like: pyjama shorts, stuffed animals, bags, scrunchies, and more.
Camp runs 9am to 4pm for the 5 days. Sample schedule is as follows:
9-10:30: Introduction to new concepts, pattern layout, cutting
10:30-11: Snack & movement break, games/other activities
11-12:30: Machine Sewing
12:30-1:15: Lunch
1:15-2:30: Hand Sewing
2:30-3: Snack & movement break, games/other activities
3-4: Machine Sewing
Since many hours of machine sewing can be too much for most kids (and grown-ups!), students will cycle between different types of sewing and sewing-related activities, like friendship bracelets, hand sewing, finger knitting, and other fun crafty things! Students will also be given plenty of opportunities for physical activity to keep their bodies healthy and their focus sharp.
NEW VENUE IN 2025: Haysboro Community Association boasts a beautiful air conditioned room for sewing, a large field, and a fantastic playground for our movement breaks.
Camp curriculum is created and delivered by a CERTIFICATED PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER, so you can rest assured that your child will be safe, cared for, and engaged all week.
