In this popular Summer Camp, now in its 11th year (2023), the children learn how to sew patchwork cushions using assorted patterned cottons, sew felt animals, sew cross-stitch bookmarks, embroider calico, make pom-poms, and beaded bracelets and are shown how to knit.  They learn how to thread a needle and knot off and they learn the benefits of focus and concentration.     See Gallery for some of the items the children sew up in camp.

  • Children also sew cross-stitch bookmarks, embroider onto calico, make pom-poms, make beaded bracelets and sew butterflies onto calico using seed beads.
  • They learn how to embroider using an embroidery hoop and learn how to knit.

  • Children can choose their patterns and felt animals to make from the samples presented.
  • All materials provided.
  • Each camp will have a maximum of 6 children.

We strongly recommend confirming details of camps with organisers before booking. We strive to ensure accuracy of information, but events may be subject to change without prior notice.
