Girls Design Fashion nurtures self-expression through fashion! Without using sewing machines, campers explore design with color, form, and inspiration. Our teaching professionals and guest artists will talk about different fashion occupations, design techniques, upcycling and the importance of sustainability. The campers will learn about basic hand stitches, pattern use, sketching and design, create their own illustrations and dream boards. At the end of the week, each camper may show off a favorite design, upcycle project or outfit at a fashion show for family and friends.
