In this 2-day LIVE sewing camp, students will learn an important life skill, sewing. Students will practice sewing straight stitches and learn to sew zig-zag stitches. Students will learn and work on measuring fabric, learn about woven fabric and cut fabric using scissors or a rotary cutter. Students will work independently or with an adult to measure, cut and/or sew straight and zigzag lines and their two sewing projects, a pillowcase and a simple skirt. In this 2-day camp, I will walk students step by step through every stage of sewing. This is a great mini-camp for those new to sewing and those who've taken my 'Sewing Basics Beginner Mini-Camp'. If your student is not in the age category this class is listed in, please send me a message so that I can be sure to make any necessary adjustments to the class. Sewing has been shown to build creativity, Focus, Improved Hand-Eye Coordination, Builds Self-Confidence, Wards Off Dementia and more. Sewing teaches discipline, calmness, and patience.
