Kick off summer break with creativity and fun at this exciting three-day sewing camp—perfect for beginner and returning young sewers alike! Designed for kids ages 8 to 15, this camp offers a hands-on opportunity to learn essential sewing skills while making stylish, functional projects.

Each day, campers will use a sewing machine to stitch their way through a variety of fun and useful items. Over the course of the camp, they’ll complete a cute tank top, matching shorts, and a summer bag—the perfect handmade ensemble to show off all season long! Campers will build confidence, learn new techniques, and take pride in creating something they can wear and use.

Led by the talented instructors of Ciao Bella Sewing, this camp is ideal for kids who love to make things and enjoy working with their hands. All supplies are included, including fabric, sewing notions, and sewing machines. However, students are welcome to bring their own machines if they prefer.

Ciao Bella creates a supportive, upbeat environment where kids can express their creativity, develop lifelong skills, and have SEW much fun doing it!

Campers should bring a water bottle and a healthy snack each day to stay energized and refreshed during camp.

Whether your child is brand new to sewing or already has some experience, this camp promises to be a fun and fulfilling start to the summer!
