Week 4 / July 6 – 10

Sew Simple

1pm – 4pm

This week starts with a satchel with drawstring casings that will carry all your items for the beach or clothes for an overnight stay with friends. Then a creative session on free motion embroidery and raw edge appliqué to spruce up an **old pair of jeans…. A quick dabble in pattern making with a tube top and a lesson in sewing with knits. We’ll sew a flirty skirt with a lesson on zippers, putting in a hem, and adding your own personal touches to commercial patterns. And, if time permits, we’ll play with elastic thread and try our skills sewing a shirred (gathered) pillow.

**Campers will need a pair of jeans to decorate for this camp. Jeans should fit in the waist and hips. We can cut them and make shorts if they are not long enough! Hint: Try the Goodwill stores for “gently worn” jeans!
