"In Stitches"
Sewing Camp
~Intro for Beginners~
July 17th - 21st, 2017
6pm-8pm
This beginners intro to sewing class is suitable for boys or girls. The recommended age is 2nd grade up. (It is highly recommended that parents stay but not required. It just helps with the transfer of knowledge between sewing class and retaining what they learned to practice at home)
Campers will learn the parts of the sewing machine, learn about choosing fabric, learn how to properly cut fabric, hand sew as well as sew on a machine and will have several completed projects by the end of the week.
Campers will be responsible for bringing their own sewing machine. **Machine must be in good working order** Please send the manual if you have it. Please refer to the supplies list below for other items that campers are responsible for bringing.
Supply List:
The class size will be limited to 8 participants to allow ample one on one time. We will have at least 2 instructors present at all times to help out.
If you have any questions, please email Bobbi at bobbi@marysvilleartleague.org
