Fashion Track Sewing & Design Camps
Fashion Track Summer Sewing Camps
5-Day Design Camps for Creative Fashion Lovers
The Fashion Design Camps at Thimble Fingers teach students to think and work like designers. Sewing becomes only one of several tools they learn to use during a week of creating clothing or other fashion accessories. The Fashion Track Sewing & Design Camps are 5 days of 3-hour classes with plenty of time to practice sketching, draping, and sewing and then recording their creative journey in a design journal. The perfect week for fashionistas age 10 and older!
There is a choice of two 5-day sessions planned for summer, 2025:
July 14-18, 2025 or August 11-15, 2025, all at 1:30-4:30pm.
Cost
$400 for the Fashion Camp fee, which includes classroom supplies. Students will need to bring their own sewing tools & notions.

Who Can Do This
Creative kids age 10 and older with basic sewing skills.
Our only prerequisite is the ability to independently operate a sewing machine. There's no need to be an expert at sewing, since these camps emphasize creative thinking over hard skills; however, the ability to operate a sewing machine is essential for a satisfying, enjoyable class experience for each student.

Supplies
All classroom supplies and fabrics, as well as the use of our studio sewing machines, are included in the $400 registration fee.
Students will need to bring from home their own personal sewing box of basic sewing tools and notions for the light sewing involved in their design projects.
