Fashion Summer Camps in New Jersey
Our students [Fashion Designers] learn to sew starting with the sketch (croquis), technical details, choosing and rendering the fabric, learning the proper way to make a pattern, including measuring each other, understanding the importance of this process and the fit of the garment.
They practice how to pin and learn to sew using a sewing machine. Then, they sew the entire garment including the final fitting. Finally, on the last day of our camp, we hold our Fashion Show. During our fashion summer camp weeks, we add fashion challenges (e.g. Newspaper Challenges, Trash Bag Challenges), for our designers to explore their inner-most fashion creativity, taste and skills. Our designers team up with other designers for this quite unique and fun summer camp experience. No sewing experience necessary. All fabric, supplies and use of the sewing machines are included.
