Looking for a productive activity for your kids this summer? Consider registering them for a summer sewing camp at your local sewing store.
Babylock is sponsoring a kids’ program called, “Summer Kids’ Clubhouse.” This program offers three, one week series’ in which the students make fun projects like a pillow case, beach bag, water bottle holder, a quilted tote, jewelry holder and a backpack.
These classes not only teach kids how to sew but also other valuable skills such as, “hand-eye coordination, math skills, following instructions, creativity and building self-esteem.”
Does your local sewing store offer kids’ summer sewing camps?
