Teenage Mutant Sewing Turtles

by on Jun 21, 2008

Five Day Turbo Sewing Camp for teens just finished yesterday.  I say Turbo because they learned how to use the machine in two hours and spent four days (two hours each) sewing, jamming the machines, designing and giggling.  It was hard to keep them supplied with fabric.  Even though it was too short to teach them the perfect sewing skills, they got the feel of the machines and discovered they could create some sweet stuff on the sewing machine.   Market tote bag, small pouch with long strap, faux quilted lined beach bag, pillows with pockets and finally some deconstructed tee shirts (Friday afternoon filler).  My Fall offering for this age group is called “It’s Sew My Room”, not home-ecky and not grandma’s sewing lessons.  Quick, modern, fun projects.  By the by, the male member of the class will be a designer someday.
