Our boutique children's fashion design summer camp in NYC is a fabulous way to spend a week or more of summer vacation!
Who we are: Now in our 13th year, students ages 6-12 years old will learn to sew real and wearable clothing using a sewing machine, illustrate fashion, learn all about design, and have a blast with up to 12 other fashion-forward kids in our NYC studio.
- Camp runs weekly starting June 17th through Sept 6th 2024 from 10am-3pm!
- Extended day with extra creative classes (hand sewing, jewelry making, and room décor projects) available from 9am-5pm each week.
- Projects and lessons will change each week so campers can continue throughout the summer.
What we do: To keep young minds engaged, each camp day will feature unique design and fashion lessons including the highlight of the day; sewing. During sewing class, fashion campers learn to use a sewing machine (complete with finger guards and speed control!) plus layout a pattern, measure and cut fabric. By the end of the week, campers will have created garments or accessories that they can take home and wear!
Plus, we go beyond the sewing machine with a big-picture introduction to fashion. Campers learn sewing skills along with illustration, merchandising, fashion history, the business of fashion, entrepreneurship, and some DIY! All lessons are age appropriate, easy to understand and hands on.
Our specialized curriculum—developed in partnership with pattern makers, illustrators, and educators over ten years—is designed around what works best for kids, including:
- Limited Class Size “Boutique” limited camp sizes of 12 students and 2 teachers ensure every kid gets the attention they deserve.
- Exceptional Teachers Our teachers combine real-world experience with specialized training and bring kindness and empathy along with energy and enthusiasm to the classroom.
- Safety First Covered blades on fabric scissors along with finger guards and speed control on all sewing machines ensure little hands are safe!
