Camp 3: Wearable Wonders - Bring your own sweatshirt to customize with a fun appliqué design. Build your machine sewing skills and make something uniquely yours.
Camp 4: Stripe It Big - Build your machine sewing skills and make a big, squishy, wonderfully bold pillow. Campers will sew a 24" pillow cover.
