Each camp has a consistent daily rhythm—short demos, focused work time, and a structured wrap-up—so students feel confident, capable, and proud of what they make.

Fashion Sewing Camp for Kids

A week of real sewing and real fashion thinking. Campers build strong foundations—safe machine habits, cutting accuracy, pressing, and finishing—then we layer in age-appropriate design lessons that connect what they’re making to the bigger world of fashion: silhouette, textiles, inspiration, and branding. The week ends with our runway-style fashion show.

QUICK FAQ

  • Short demos, focused studio work blocks, and a structured wrap-up—so campers always know what’s next.

  • Packed lunch, water bottle, and a snack.

  • Kids campers must have prior machine experience or have completed a Beginner Sewing Workshop. Teen camp welcomes a range of experience levels; projects are adjusted for success.

  • Our camp is a hands-on sewing studio environment. Sewing involves pins, scissors, and machines, so safe behavior and basic focus are essential. Campers ages 6–7 should be able to:

    • Sit and listen during brief group instruction

    • Follow step-by-step directions with guidance

    • Use tools carefully and follow safety rules

    • Stay with the group and remain in the studio space

    • Ask for help and respond to redirection

    If you’re unsure whether your child is ready, please reach out before registering—we’re happy to help you choose the best fit.

    To keep the studio safe and productive, repeated unsafe behavior may require a parent/guardian to be contacted for early pick-up.

  • Payment plans may be available upon request. Please reach out before registering so we can confirm options and deadlines.

  • Because camps run as a one-week studio experience with limited seats, missed days cannot be made up or rescheduled. Registrations are final, non-refundable, and non-transferable.
