Summer Camps 2010
Hello to Everyone!
It’s April already and as many of you
know I am way behind in presenting my
camp program. This year, I am only
offering 4 weeks of sewing camps with a
slightly different pricing structure.
When you are considering the price of
the sewing camps, please remember that
sewing requires not only a sewing
machine (in good condition with presser
feet, needles etc) but other equipment
such as irons, notions, and sergers as
well.
In addition, campers must either supply
their own patterns, fabric, and notions or
purchase them at camp.
Listening to parents and students I am
hearing that summers are hectic and it’s
sometimes very hard (if not impossible) to
find the time to fit in all the summer
activities. In response to these concerns
“Get Creative and Sew” Camps will introduce
flexible scheduling this year.
Choose from
4 options when signing up for sewing lessons:

Option #1
Sign up for one of the scheduled weekly
camps meeting for 3 hours in the
morning or afternoon. Camps meet for 5
days (Monday – Friday) for a total of 15
hours. Students will learn basic sewing
skills and then sew projects based on
their interests and skills
Cost: $225.00 for 15 hours of
instruction plus the cost of supplies.
Bring your own project/s or purchase
kits at a nominal price at camp.
Camp fee based on $15/hr

Option #2
Sign up for one of the scheduled weekly
camps for both morning and afternoon
sessions. A full day of camp begins at
9:30am and runs until 4pm everyday for
5 days. Campers will bring a lunch and
will eat from 12:30pm to 1pm each day.
Students will learn basic sewing skills
and then sew projects based on their
interests and skills.
Cost: $500.00 for 30 hours of
instruction AND all supplies are
included for both morning and afternoon
sessions! Based on $15/hour Best Deal
for campers…supplies greatly
discounted!

Option 3#
No time for a full week of sewing fun?
No problem! As space permits, join one
of the camps for a 3 or 6 hour time
frame @ $20/hr plus supplies. $20/hr
is my current special rate for sewing
lessons in my home classroom (private or
semi-private)

Option #4
Can’t fit in a scheduled camp? Does your
older child want a few days of one on
one instruction to complete a special
project? Call Bobbi to schedule an
appointment for a lesson.
Cost: $20/hr plus supplies… $20/hr is
my current special rate for sewing
lessons in my home classroom (private or
semi-private) Normal rate is $40/hour
and still applies when instructor travels
to student’s home for a lesson + travel +
supplies.
This option is great for working
students or for families traveling during
the summer!

first teaching adults, mostly moms and
grandmothers, the joys of heirloom sewing. Asked
to teach a children’s class in 2004, she accepted the
offer and has since then developed a broad range of
classes for her younger students whose ages range
from four years old through young adults.
