Junior Fashion Design + Sewing Camp



DESCRIPTION

All of the fun of Fashion Design Camp, but geared to younger students.  In this five day camp, we are going to learn all about the fashion design process. From concept to illustration to garment construction and finishing, your child will leave with a well-rounded understanding of the fashion industry and how garments are created. Each week will feature new and different projects.

To keep young designers engaged, lessons are hands-on, age appropriate, and easy to follow. Class begins with an introduction on how to use a sewing machine, our bernette sewing machines are equipped with speed control and finger guards for a safe and fun environment. Students begin their first project during their first class. Throughout camp they learn the fundamentals of sewing and fashion design while use child-friendly patterns to make fashionable items during their class.*

Each child works on their project at their own pace. With a small student/teacher ratio, there is lots of guidance. The studio has six sewing stations set up allowing for each child to have an individual space with which to work and learn.

Projects progress in difficulty to build your child's sewing skills and change each camp so that students can continue to sew and learn.

DETAILS

•Please send in a lunch, snack and a bottle of water with your child each day. If your child has an allergy, please let me know at time of registration.

• Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early for camp and try to pick up your child on time at the end of class.

• Camp cancellation Policy:  Any cancellations before May 10, 2025 will be refunded, less $100 deposit.  There are no refunds for cancellations after May 10, 2025.  By continuing with registration, you acknowledge and agree to these terms.


*PROJECT COMPLETION AND ATTENDANCE
Campers must attend the entire camp in order to complete their projects.  If a camper must miss a day, you may schedule time during Open Sew Studio hours, for an additional charge, to complete their project.  While I do my best to ensure the kids projects are completed during camp, sometimes that is not possible. However, it is ultimately up to the student how they choose to spend their class time.


WAITLIST

If the camp is full, please add your name to the waitlist.  If there is enough interest, I may add an additional camp.

I understand that life happens! The studio policies are in place to help students and families understand their responsibilities regarding cancellations, lateness, illness and other ‘life happens’ moments.  Please read carefully before registering.  I look forward to each lesson and spend many hours each week in preparation.

Skill Level: Beginner
Skill Details: Fashion camps are beginner friendly, but new students will need to attend a Beginner Sewing Workshop before camp begins. The Beginner Sewing Workshop is designed to teach the basics of sewing; including how to use the sewing machine, how to pin and cut fabric, and how to maintain a consistent seam allowance. If your child has sewn with me before, in weekly classes or in previous summer camps, they will not need to register for the workshop unless they feel that they would benefit from a refresher. The Beginner Sewing Workshops are held monthly on Saturday afternoons and throughout the summer to make it an easy add-on to camp.
Materials Included: All materials and supplies are included.
Requirements: Students must have a basic working knowledge of the sewing machine, or have completed at least one camp or sewing session with me before registering. If not, they will need to take a Beginning Sewing Workshop prior to class.
Instructor: Hilarie Dayton
