KIDS’ CHOICE Summer Camps - every camp, all summer long! Our sewing camps are designed for kids ages 7 to 13 of any skill level. Unlike our After-School program, where kids follow a prescribed curriculum, our summer camps are based on KIDS’ CHOICE - meaning they get to pick the projects they want to make. With a large selection of projects to choose from, kids can come for multiple weeks without making the same project twice. Every camper’s skill level will be assessed based on the information you give us on the registration form and any history they may have in our educational program. Then, kids will choose from a selection of projects appropriate for their skill level. Every skill level has projects in these categories: quilting, bag making, pillows, stuffies, and applique, - so every kid can find projects that fit their personal taste. Note: If your child has no sewing experience, they must first complete our Beginner Workshop before coming to camp. This is a 2-hour class in which students learn the basics of the sewing machine. Register for a Beginner Workshop here: (ADD A LINK TO YOUR BEGINNER WORKSHOP) All project materials (fabric, thread, etc.) are included in the cost of camp. However, students must provide their own tools. Each day, please pack a light snack and a drink for your child, as we take a short break mid-camp, each day.

W-I-P Wednesday Sewcial is dedicated to making progress on your Works In Progress! It's the perfect day to focus on unfinished projects, whether they’re garments, quilts, or accessories that have been waiting for your attention. This day is about revisiting those WIPs (works in progress) and bringing them one step closer to completion. It's a chance to knock out the lingering tasks or finalizing the finishing touches. Celebrate the satisfaction of moving forward and seeing your creations come together!

We’re very excited to be hosting another off-site retreat at the Art Nest Retreat Center in Agency, Mo. We're even more excited to announce the Amazing Mac Cox from MA Couture Crafting will be our featured instructor for the weekend. If you've met Mac, you know you want to spend a weekend with her. She brings all the energy and she's amazingly creative. We have a fun 4 days planned and invite you to sign up to join us. It will be a great weekend full of sewing, food, swag and prizes. Mac will be teaching her just released pattern, Sewsational Six, plus a pattern from her book, Curves Ahead. Plus, stay tuned for a special project using her new fabric line that is arriving in May from Andover Fabrics. Her ombre collection is out-of-this-world GORGEOUS! Mac is a huge Disney fan, so don't be surprised if you find hints of your favorite Disney characters in her patterns and projects.

Let's make Sneakers! Patti found a great sneaker kit and made several pairs and now she's excited to share this process with you. These sneakers - with a little prep - can easily be made in a day! The best part is you get to customize them to your likes and personality. Will you pick your favorite sports team? Designer Fabric? Favorite color? It's all up to you!
