Half-Day Youth & Teen Sewing Summer Camps 2025
Regular price $185.00Get your teen immersed in the amazing world of sewing and fashion.
Our Teen Sewing Summer Camp offers a safe and fun environment for teens to explore their passion for fashion and sewing. They'll be creating seasonal basic to intermediate garments or home decor items like a stylish t-shirt (or two), an elastic band skirt or a pair of shorts or even a cross shoulder bag!
