Sewing – Tote Bags and Owl Plushies  (3rd-8th)

Sewing is such a practical and creative life skill!  This beginner sewing class will help you get familiar with a sewing machine and learn the basics of sewing. Students will work on a small hand sewing project throughout the week, although most class time will focus on learning or improving machine sewing skills. 

You can bring your own sewing machine or share one if you don’t have one. If you would like your machine cleaned and oiled so it is set up and ready for camp, you will need to schedule a drop-off time the week prior to camp. Cost is $20. If parts are missing or extensive labor is required, there will be additional charges.

Projects Include: Gift card wallets, tote bags, owl plushies and more

Dates: June 5-9 (M-F)

Cost: $175 All materials supplied
Instructor: Kylee Boutchia
