Fashion Camp, 7th Grade and Up

$280.00

Only a few left!

For beginners or returning campers going into grades 7, 8, 9, 10 (or equivalent). Fashion Camps run from 1:30 to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. Campers learn or review how to use a sewing machine and explore using different types of fabric to make projects which might include a pocketed shoulder bag, a simple top, wrap pants, or a non-gendered romper or shorts. Everything is supplied, including a machine to use at camp. Projects and teachers vary from week to week, so signing up for multiple weeks does not mean you will be repeating projects! Campers should bring a peanut-free snack to eat during our supervised outdoor break and can bring money for goodies at Rashida Bakery.
