The three summer camps were very successful. Each camp lasted for five days. The students ages range from 7-11yrs and 12-15yrs. The younger group made a pillowcase and pajama bottoms. The teen group made a peasant blouse. They learned how to operate their own sewing machines. They also learned how to measure, layout, pin and cut out a pattern. It was lots of fun.
I think the biggest challenge for most of the girls was the sewing machine. They start out thinking that they can learn it all in one day. I had to show them that even after 40 years of sewing; some days the machine still doesn't do what I want it to do.
