Here at The New York Sewing Center, our love of crafting and sewing began at a very young age, which is why we love to inspire the next generation of fashion designers with this camp!
This course is a 5 day summer camp program for young students to express their creativity & grow their love of sewing through fun seasonal projects that they will be proud to say they made!
