Summer Sewing Camp

Our first Summer Sewing Camp ran the week of August 10th. Lara (my niece), Elaine and I worked with 8 girls in the morning session ranging in age from 7 to 16, and 4 girls in the afternoon session ranging in age from 10 to 12, One of these girls even came for the whole day for three of the camp days! I would have to say it was a huge success. I know that I was exhausted by the end of the week.
Everyone started off by making a tote bag that was then used to carry supplies for the rest of the week.


The second project was a pair of pyjama pants or shorts. These girls worked so hard and so fast that they had all completed this project by early Wednesday.
On to the next project - here we had a lot of variety - as you can see from the pictures we had more shorts, a blouse, pillows of all sorts and sizes, decorative stitches on many items, aprons, quilting and more. The girls worked until it was time to go on Friday, with their tote bags filled a variety of items.
It was a treat to work with such young and excited sewers.
