What camp should I take?
A. If you are new to machine sewing.
The best camp to take is either the half-day sewnow! 101 camp or the full-day Beginner Fashion Sewing camp - these are for kids and teens who are new to machine sewing and it gets them off to a perfect start. If kids are entering 2nd or 3rd grade, they should take the Junior 100 class which covers similar skills with shorter classes.
B. If you have taken sewnow! 101 or equivalent.
If you've graduated from sewnow! 101 or have solid sewing experience with all the basics, the right camp for you is sewnow! 201 camp. If you have graduated from 101 and want to take some of the Summer Fun camps which have 201 as a prerequisite, you can take our 201 Sewing Skills Workshop which will cover the 201 skills needed for these camps.
C. If you have taken sewnow! 201 or equivalent.
If you've graduated from sewnow! 201 (camp or class) or have equivalent experience (i.e. know how to use the serger/overlocker, make hems, buttonholes, and waistbands or have taken our 201 Sewing Skills Workshop) then you are ready for a variety of camps. sewnow! 301 would be the next logical step for skills progression - making a sundress, or if you have taken sewnow! 301, sewnow! 401 would be the next skills progression - making a hooded sweatshirt. You may also be interested in the Summer Fun camps focused on: Beachwear, Room Makeover (learn some quilting techniques), and Backpacks.
