About Sew, Ooh La La
My home-based classroom has sewing machines, cutting tables, tools, and most supplies. You will need to supply fabric and thread for one of the projects; however, the class materials and maintenance fee covers the cost of the other projects. All your child needs is a willingness to learn, enthusiasm, and the ability to respect others.
The week before camp, your child will be asked about his or her third project and informed of the amount of yardage to purchase. I ask that parents and guardians help their child pre-wash the fabric prior to the Wednesday session.
