I just wanted to say, I feel like this is the camp working parents have been waiting for! I have struggled so much to find options over the years that offer real hours and weeks throughout the summer. Really appreciate all the offerings – and ones that the kids are excited about. (Is it summer yet?!)

Amazing classes with individual attention and in a cozy charming space. Both the classes and summer camp are perfect for anyone who loves sewing and craft projects.

This was the most engaged I’ve seen my daughter since the pandemic started – she did this constantly on her own afterward and LOVED it…..great camp, great subject material. Thank You.

My daughter (8-yrs old) loved Handwork & Fashion & Machine Sewing at the Handwork Studio at Avalon Elementary. She made a romper from scratch…picked out her fabric, cut, design & sew…I was seriously amazed and she was so proud, she wore that damn romper EVERYWHERE, for days on end🤣🤦🏼♀️. Totally worth every penny. Highly recommend!
