There are 3 Levels of Sewing Camps based on the difficulty of the techniques used in the projects that week. Please only sign up for classes appropriate for your child’s level. We know sometimes kids are excited about a project but if it is too far beyond their abilities, they won’t be happy with the results and it will be challenging for all of us. Experienced sewists are welcome to do any of the camps. The results of their projects will likely be more polished and we can offer additional projects for them if they complete their projects early. If you have any question about your student’s abilities, please email us to discuss or ask your child’s instructor.

Learn to Sew Friendly– This week will start with instruction on how to use the sewing machine safely and some practice sewing. The projects will mostly use straight lines at the beginning of the week and increase slightly in difficulty as the week goes on.

Advanced Beginner Friendly– These projects will be able to be completed by a beginner sewist, but we expect they have taken a Learn to Sew class or camp, or have used a sewing machine enough to know some basics about where to keep their hands and keeping a straight line of stitching. These projects may require sewing curves and more precise stitching. Projects may have more cutting and prep work. 

Experienced Only– These projects require stamina and patience as they often have a lot of prep work and cutting. They also require precise stitching and may use complicated techniques and/or challenging fabrics. 

We will have Weekly Themed Camps that run Monday through Thursday 9am-1pm. A few are Monday through Wednesday.

We also have Mini Camps which run Tuesday & Thursday 1:30-4pm both days for 1 week.

The Makery is a sewing studio located in Scituate, MA. Our kids classes are for students ages 7 and up. Students will be using sewing machines and sharp objects, so we expect that they are able to listen and follow directions. If your child has never used a sewing machine, they need to start with a Learn to Sew friendly class. This ensures that they learn how to safely use the sewing machine and tools in the studio and are comfortable threading the machine, winding a bobbin and are starting to understand how to land their stitches where they want them before joining the next level of classes.

In all of our classes, it is our goal to allow children to be creative, learn sewing skills and techniques so they can become independent sewists and to learn how to persevere through mistakes and challenges so they can feel the pride of completing a project over time. We have high quality sewing machines and tools for the students to use as well as a selection of fabrics. All materials are included in the class tuition.
