This past July found the shop in a frenzy of sewing & design during our annual EcoKids: Fashion Camp! Intended for beginning seamsters who have basic knowledge of sewing and have completed our Intro2Sew or Beginner Sew Camp. We had such a super fun week of sustainable sewing, upcycling and basic fashion design/sketching. During their week at Fashion Camp, the girls made tote bags, upcycled t-shirts, learned basic block-printing on fabrics, and spent two days sketching, pattern-drafting and stitching up their very own Wrap-A-Round skirts.
This Video- taken during the last day of camp- is Mama's favorite Media piece from the whole week. Their quiet concentration and complete focus on their sewing is remarkable.
We enjoyed this camp sew much that we have decided to add more EcoKids camps to our calendar throughout the school year. Look for a camp focused on eco-friendly gift giving this fall and will be offering Fashion Camp again during springtime school breaks. Also be sure to let your crafty teens & tweens know about our EcoSew workshops encouraging multi-generational crafting. Take a class with your kid/grandparent/sibling/cousin and share the love!
Very good video clippings...http://www.vivamagonline.com/index.php Hope this Fashion Camp will be inspiring one for all.. Such a perfect work you all have done... Well done!!!
