Students interested in Fashion Design and Costuming can choose our Fashion and Costume Design Projects. Crafty students can choose the Craft Projects, as well as the newly added Sewing for my American Doll! Quilters can choose the Quilting Projects .

During the camp, students will learn how to use sewing, sergers, cover stitches, embroidery, knitting, and other machines. Our school is fully equipped with all kinds of tools, machines, fabrics, and notions.

Amazing Sewing Experience

School of Couture provides all supplies: sewing machines, threads, fabrics, dress forms, iron, notions, patterns, and more! Students are also welcome to bring their patterns and fabric. We run an open sewing studio so students can advance at their own pace and make projects they find most interesting and exciting.

Camp Policy

Days & Hours

Full-day camps run throughout the summer, fall, winter, and spring break on Mondays to Fridays, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Early Drop Off / Late Pick Up

Parents, please be considerate and do not drop off your child early or pick them up late. Our studio hours do not allow us extra time between classes. We teach classes, special classes, private lessons, and sewing camps back-to-back, and we do not have a waiting room. Please try to drop off and pick up within 5 minutes of camp time. If you need to drop off early or pick up late, you must SCHEDULE IN ADVANCE for extended camp hours.

Extended Hours Camp Fees:

Early Drop Off (8:45 am or 12.45 pm) – $30.00 per student per week or $10.00 per day

Early Drop Off (8:30 am or 12.30 pm) – $75.00 per student per week or $20.00 per day

Camp Fee

Camp, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm or 1 pm to 4 pm, $270.00

Fall camp runs Monday – Wednesday.

Students are allowed to bring snacks and water.

Unless otherwise noted, each camp type shown above is offered weekly during the summer. Camps are run simultaneously. So, one student may be making a quilt, while another is making a skirt, and another student may be making a stuffed animal in the same week of camp. In our 8 years of running sewing camps, we have found that this method works best, and each student’s project inspires and encourages the students who are seeing the process in that same camp.

Camp Registration

Every year since we began in 2013, every week of camp has sold out. This is in red and bold for a reason: Please register early to avoid being on a waitlist. Email FIRST to hold your child’s place for camp. By doing so, you are verifying that room is still available.

Payment

You may pay by cash, check, or VENMO. We do not take credit cards. Please make checks payable to the School of Couture. Please be advised we have a strict NO REFUND policy. More information can be found in our Agreement.

Wait List

If there is a week of camp you’d like your child to attend and it is full, please let us know, and we will put your child on a waitlist. Even though it is rare that we get cancellations, we do get students who need to change their week of camp from time to time. We know that the uncertainty of the waitlist is inconvenient, so we do our best to communicate with you through email updates.

PAYMENT INFORMATION:

REFUND & CAMP EXCHANGE POLICY:

We have a strict NO-REFUND policy. Please keep in mind that we have hired a certain number of instructors to cover a certain number of students who have signed up for that particular week. Holding a spot in a camp and needing to change it close to the camp date takes spaces away from other eager students and costs both the teacher, the extra instructors hired for the camp, and the Studio.

· Not a Child or Dependent Expense -School of Couture tuition does not qualify as child care or dependent care expense. Therefore, parents should not attempt to claim it as a tax credit or for reimbursement via a flexible spending account. Instructors are not required to provide their social security numbers or employer identification numbers for this purpose.
