CAMP DETAILS

If you've never used a sewing machine, then this is the camp for you!  This is a pre-requisite for all other camps on the sewing machine.

In this camp, you will learn to:

• thread the machine

• wind a bobbin

• make a rolled hem on your baby blanket while you get used to a 5/8" seam allowance

• learn to pin correctly and sew in the round on pillowcases

• make a casing for your drawstring bag ( this is the same way you make an elastic waist)

These skills lay a strong foundation for you to build on with future sewing projects. Come away with a flannel baby blanket, a pillowcase, and a drawstring bag in your choice of fabrics from our awesome collection. Campers can free sew and make additional projects once these are completed.

In the afternoon, crochet a handy water bottle carrier! How cute is this banana peel cozie??

In this introduction to crochet camp, you will learn the chain, single, and double crochet stitches, the foundation of all crochet projects.

We’ll learn how to crochet a 3D shape using increases and decreases, a skill you can use to make amigurumi in the future.

Make a matching strap in the size of your choice, so you can wear it around your wrist, attach it to your backpack, or sling it over your shoulder.

After making this pouch you’ll know all the fundamental basics of crochet. Some campers may have time to make multiples, or extra projects like a friendship bracelet!

This is going to be so fun!
