SEWING CAMP REGISTRATION OPENS AT 10 AM ON FEBRUARY 20!
Fashion Forward Sewing Camp
Led by Ciao Bella Sewing
Calling all fashion lovers and aspiring designers! This fun and creative sewing camp is the perfect summer experience for students who want to learn the art of sewing and take their skills to the next level. Designed for fashion-forward youth ages 8–15, this week-long camp focuses on one exciting project: creating a custom skirt using a real sewing pattern!
Throughout the week, campers will:
-
Learn how to read and follow a sewing pattern
-
Practice cutting patterns and fabric with precision
-
Build confidence using a sewing machine
-
Explore the fundamentals of garment construction
-
Complete a stylish skirt they can wear and proudly say, “I made this!”
Led by the expert instructors from Ciao Bella Sewing, this camp offers a supportive, hands-on environment where students of all skill levels—both new and returning—can thrive. Campers can bring their own sewing machine or use one of the provided machines, along with all the necessary supplies, fabric, and notions.
More than just a camp, this is a chance to develop lifelong skills, boost creativity, and build self-confidence through sewing and design. It’s not just about stitches—it’s about style, self-expression, and fun!
What to Bring:
-
A reusable water bottle
-
A healthy snack for break time
-
Enthusiasm and creativity!
Whether your child is a beginner or already knows their way around a needle and thread, this camp promises a week filled with learning, laughter, and fashion-forward fun.
