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.
