Sewing Camps 2013

Out to Lunch  - Lunch bag

     This summer I will be once again having sewing camps.  Beginning Sewing Camp will be the week of June10th or July 8th.  Children will earn their sewing machine "driver's license" with this beginning sewing class.  Using the Carolyn Curtis Kids Can Sew and Craft program, they will make a sewing bag to hold their supplies and a belt to hold up their pants.  From there they will make themselves simple garments mastering the basics to move on to more complex items.  Come learn from a Trained Sewing Educator in a small size class that allows for personal attention.

     The week of June 24th is The Three Rs - ReMake ReModel ReUse.  Does your dad have a dress shirt and tie he no longer wears?  Does someone in your family have t-shirts they no longer need?  We are going to turn these items into a skirt, a necklace, bracelet and a bag.  So have some fun ‘shopping’ in your family’s closet or at a local thrift shop.  See how much fun the three Rs can be.

    The week of July 29th Is Summer Cotton Fun.  Cotton is the fabric for summer.  Cool and comfy in the heat.  We will make an ‘Easy Peasy Summer Skirt', a cloth headband and a reversible bag all from cotton fabrics.  Buy coordinating fabrics and you will have the basis of a new summer outfit.

     And last but not least is Out to Lunch the week of August 5th.  Everything you need to take your lunch in an eco-friendly way.  We'll stitch a colorful lunch bag, a sandwich wrapper that doubles as a placemat, a wrap to keep your soda can cool and a case to keep the change you need to buy a candy bar ;-)   Just the thing to do before heading back to school.

     I always have fun planning the camps and then even more fun teaching them.  These camps are for both boys and girls so if you know of a child wanting to learn to sew just send them my way.  

     My after school girls are moving along nicely with their projects.  The two newest girls, Lauren and Christine have finished their sewing bags and belts and will start on their first clothing item next week.
