Teen Sewing Summer Camp

Ages 13–17 | All Skill Levels Welcome

Looking for a creative, hands-on summer activity your teen will love? Our Teen Sewing Summer Camp is the perfect way for young makers to build confidence, learn practical skills, and have fun while creating real wearable projects.

In this week-long camp, teens will:

• Learn how to safely operate and use a sewing machine (no experience needed!)

• Sew beginner-friendly projects designed to build foundational skills

• Choose fabric and follow a pattern to create everyday items they will use

• Practice creativity, focus, and patience in a supportive studio environment

Whether your teen is brand new to sewing or already knows their way around a machine, this camp offers something for everyone. Experienced sewists will strengthen their skills and build great sewing habits, while beginners will get a fun and welcoming introduction to garment making.

Sewing machines and materials are provided. Teens will need to bring a sewing toolkit including all of the necessary items they need to complete the projects. Space is limited to ensure personalized instruction—early registration is encouraged!

Class Format:

• August 18th - 22nd (Mon-Fri), 9:30am - 12:30pm

• 4:1 Student to Teacher Ratio
  

• Open to all genders, no experience necessary

Our Teen sewing program is growing! We’ll be introducing Unit 2 and additional levels + summer camps and day camps throughout the year, each featuring all-new projects and exciting new skills for your child to explore. Each new unit will run in 6-week sessions.
