Sewing for Beginners
June 8th–12th • 8:30–3:30
This summer, young makers can discover the world of sewing with award winning textile artist Tiavalya Befecadu! Whether your child is brand new to sewing or ready to take their skills to the next level, these two camps are designed to build confidence, spark creativity, and encourage hands on learning in a fun, supportive environment.
With a small class size (1 teacher for every 5 students), every camper gets plenty of personal attention as they learn, explore, and create.
Campers can bring their own sewing machine, bobbins and optional ¼-inch quilting presser foot. For the Intermediate Sewing camp, they will need a walking foot too. There is also an option to borrow a sewing machine and accessories from Burritt on the Mountain with a refundable $75 deposit.
Each day also includes time to explore Burritt’s beautiful historic park, learn about traditional fiber arts, and enjoy outdoor breaks on Burritt’s beautiful grounds. Campers should bring a lunch and snack each day.
Perfect for kids who are new to sewing or want to build basic skills.
Campers will learn:
- How to safely use a sewing machine
- Basic sewing techniques
- How to follow simple patterns
They’ll create:
- A potholder
- A keychain
- A lanyard
- A bookmark
Registration Deadline: Tuesday, June 2
