Slumber Party Sewing Camp

Amanda, Isy, Julia and Claire with their camisole tops

 

     The last camp of the summer was Slumber Party.  If you can't decide between sleeping in or hanging out with friends, then a slumber party is the way to go.  Or course this camp description was written before COVID-19 but hopefully one day soon kids will be able to be together again.  The first thing the girls made was a camisole top.  They had an option of tie  straps or plain.  Amanda chose the tie option while the rest chose the pain strap option.

     Next up was the pajama bottoms.  Amanda and Julia chose the long pants option while Isy and Claire chose the boxers option.  In the long pants option, you could add a tuck to make them shorter or leave them super long, kind of dragging on the ground version.  Amanda chose to add a tuck, and then we had to add another one because they were still WAY too long.  Julia chose to leave hers super long.  They learned how to make buttonholes because theses bottoms had a ribbon/elastic drawstring in the waist.

Duffel bags ready to go to a sleepover

     Next up was a combo duffel bag, pillow case.  There were four buttonholes in this project so they got lots more practice making buttonholes.  Oops I missed getting a photo of Julia with her duffel bag.

Almost finished masks

 

     Lastly we made their sleep masks.  Unfortunately we ran out of time to finish them, but they finish sewing them closed by hand at home.  It was fun to see the colors and fabrics the girls chose.  Isy also made a matching scrunch for each of the girls.  Thanks Isy!

Completed projects

     This has been a fun summer of lots of sewing camps even while having to be masked and socially distant.  After school weekly lessons will start after Labor Day.  This will give me a chance to work on some other projects and then be all ready for more sewing teaching.
