Don't worry about adding a backpack to that Back-to-School Shopping List because your kiddo will have their very own, one-of-a-kind, handmade backpack ready to go when school rolls around in the Fall! Students will be guided through all the steps to create their backpack from planning, cutting, stitching, assembling, and even modeling (if they want)! This camp is open to sewists of all experience levels.
August 11-15, 2025
Monday - Friday
9am - 3pm
Ages: 8 - 14
Level: All levels welcome
Instructor: Melissa
At checkout, please include the following information in the "Notes" section (even if you've sewn with us before):
- Your child's name, age, pronouns
- The name of an emergency contact & their cell number
*If you'd like to register for this week, but your child has already made this project or would rather choose their own project for the week, please reach out to chat (cutandsew.phl@gmail.com). We might be able to make it work.
All sewing materials will be provided. If students would like to bring their own fabric for the bag's exterior, they may bring 1 yard of a canvas fabric (7-9 oz). (Reach out with any questions.)
Students should bring a lunch, personal water bottle, and snack if needed. Weather permitting, we will get outside to the Mt Airy Playground for a lunch and movement break.
Our goal is to make our studio financially accessible to as many people as possible. We do this through our tiered pricing model.
If camp is sold out, email us at cutandsew.phl@gmail.com to get on the wait list. All camps require at least 3 students to run.
