Sewing Stretchy Costumes Camp for Teens, Section 1

Welcome to Sewing Stretchy Costumes Camp for Teens!

Date: July 15th - July 17th

Location: 755 Prior Ave N

Get ready to unleash your creativity and sewing skills at our camp designed especially for teens 13+! During this hands-on camp, you will learn how to sew stretchy fabrics to create your own leotard, skating dress, dance costume, etc. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the process, from choosing the right fabric to mastering sewing techniques. By the end of the camp, you'll have a one-of-a-kind costume that you can proudly show off!

We'll start with a mesh wrap skirt or a pair of practice legging-style pants made in a spandex jersey, with an elastic waistband. Then we'll build a leotard based costume, complete with mesh insets. We will be able to practice a little bit of surface design (lace, painting, stoning, etc.) but probably won't get an entire costume decorated in a few days. PATTERN AND LIMITED SELECTION OF MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED. All projects are for the participants to keep.

Your teen should know how to work a sewing machine - how to fill a bobbin, thread the machine, sew and finish seams. Sewing stretchy stuff is hard and this should not be a first project. If your teen really wants this camp but needs some preliminary instruction, consider enrolling in a Get Ready for Camp session in late May or early June.

Teaching machines and tools are available for use during this camp. If your teen has access to their own sewing machine and/or tools, we encourage you to bring those. Participants should wear comfortable clothing that might get untidy. We will have a lunch break - please bring your own - and snack breaks daily.

Meets Mon-Thurs, 9:30am - 4:00 pm.
