At The Sewing Studio this week we’re all about camps. We’re running our first session of summer’s Fashion Runway Week today until Friday with students from The York School, a private school in Toronto. In addition to learning to sew, students will turn an existing garment into their own piece of haute couture. They’ll learn fashion illustration, how to design a logo and hang tag, how to style an outfit, and all the while they’ll hear from industry pros including Jessica Biffi of Project Runway Canada, Anna Lisa Sang of Flare, Fashion, House & Home, and LouLou, and Janette Ewen of CityLine and Globe & Mail. Sounds amazing, don’t you think?

We’ll keep you posted on the camp. In the meantime, there’s still room in the summer versions of Fashion Runway Week! Register now and see full details by downloading our summer camp PDF.

In addition to Fashion Runway Week for tweens and teens, we’ve got Teddy Bear Week for young creatives ages 8-13. AND…. we’re adding a new camp to the roster: Lights! Camera! Fashion! Stay tuned for news on that. Students ages 8-14 will re-work a pair of jeans into a fashionable bag and a parent’s button-down shirt into a dress. On the last day of the camp, we’re bringing in a professional makeup artist for a photoshoot, and each student will leave with their very own personalized magazine cover!

So as you can see, we’ve got camp fever here at The Sewing Studio. Summer’s on its way……

Happy Sewing!

More about weddings and summer camps

We’ve got some new additions to the team at The Sewing Studio, so things were bustling at the Toronto location this weekend.

The wedding dress that I’m working on is coming along great! Check out this pic of me and the (shy) bride. One down and one more to go. (Did I mention I’m making two wedding dresses right now?? Ah!!) Don’t forget to channel your inner bride at our Bride-to-Be course. Loads of lace and all things white. Who can resist? It starts in just under two weeks.

If you didn’t get our March newsletter that went out last week with the Hello-Kitty-everywhere baby room, let us know. Or you can join the newsletter by sending an email to newsletter@lovesewing.com. Doesn’t this pic just make you squeal with glee???

See you soon!

Online registrations and summer camps on the way!

Happy FRIDAY!

So much for me getting footage of our Ghana mission online today. If you read my blog post this past Monday, I was planning to post a video from our first charity mission in today’s blog post. Oops. It turns out I have no idea how to download video from our camcorder to my desktop. So that’s my personal task this weekend: Figure out how to download the video and then post it for Monday. Stay tuned and wish me luck…

Anyway, great things have happened this week. We just launched our ONLINE REGISTRATIONS! Check them out. Now you can register for a class in Toronto or in Pickering directly from www.lovesewing.com.

And we’ve finalized the content for our summer camps. We’ll be doing a teen fashion camp and a kid’s teddy bear camp all through the summer. Details to follow. We’ll send out the announcement with our newsletter (sign up for it here), and we’ll also be putting a link directly on our website.

Have a great weekend!
