Soft Friends Sewing Camp

$650/ Week

Ages 7-12

July 20th - 24th

9:00am - 3:00pm Each Day

In Soft Friends Sewing Camp, young makers learn the joy of sewing while creating a handmade stuffed animal they can truly call their own. Over the course of the week, campers will design, cut, sew, and stuff a soft fabric friend—then bring their creation to life with outfits, accessories, and personal details.

In the morning, students will be introduced to foundational sewing skills on a sew machine, hand sewing, pattern reading and making, seam allowances, and safe tool use. Once their stuffed animal is complete, campers will design and sew simple clothing and accessories like scarves, tiny bags, blankets, beds, or hats—learning how to get creative and make it up as they go! Afternoons will be spent crafting worlds for our new creations.

This camp emphasizes creativity, patience, and confidence. Campers are encouraged to work at their own pace, experiment with fabrics and colors, and support one another through the making process. No prior sewing experience is required—just curiosity and a love of making things by hand.

All sewing machines, fabric and tools are provided. If your child has their own sewing machine, they are welcome to bring it for camp - but please reach out and let us what make and model the machine is to make sure it is the right fit for this camp.

Please pack a snack, lunch and water bottle for your little one. Please wear comfortable clothes that can get messy! We will eat lunch at the small park across the street from the studio each day from 12-1pm (weather permitting) so a hat and sunscreen is recommended.

To help everyone have a fun, safe, and creative week together, please follow these guidelines:

1. Stay in the Camp Area No going into the retail shop area. No going into the back of the studio or behind the curtain.

2. Move Safely No running or rough housing. Walk carefully—there are art projects and tools everywhere!

3. Be Kind Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your classmates and teachers. Use respectful words and actions.

4. Take Care of the Art Be gentle with your own artwork. Be gentle with everyone else’s artwork—no touching without permission. Treat materials and tools with care.

5. Ask for Help If you’re unsure about something, ask a teacher before starting. Let us know right away if something spills, breaks, or feels unsafe.

6. Try Your Best & Have Fun Take your time, explore new ideas, and enjoy the creative process. It’s okay to make mistakes—mistakes are part of art!
