Sewing
Ages 9-14At The New York Sewing Center, our passion for sewing and crafting started early, and we love sharing that excitement with the next generation of fashion designers! This five-day summer camp offers a fun and creative space for young students to explore the world of sewing through exciting seasonal projects.
Designed for beginners, this camp ensures that every participant can follow along and even recreate their projects at home.
What You’ll Learn: Fashion sketching and mood boards How to properly thread and use a sewing machine Basic sewing techniques and terminology Sewing accessories and clothing Hand and machine stitching, seam finishes, appliqué, and trim application Embroidery Projects by Age Group: Younger students: Fashion sketching, mood boards, weaving, pillows, scrunchies, and an elastic-waist skirt. Older students: Fashion sketching, mood boards, embroidery, a tote bag, and a summer top.
All materials are provided, whether attending in person or virtually. Virtual participants will need their own sewing machine and basic tools.
Each day is structured to include sewing, fashion sketching, embroidery, and even a lunch break featuring a fashion runway show for inspiration. Recordings of virtual classes are available upon request.
No prior experience is needed—just bring your creativity!
The New York Sewing Center is a spotless and highly professional space. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. I had the pleasure of taking a private lesson with Marcel, and he was outstanding. The lesson was tailored specifically to my project and goals, making it a truly personalized experience. I highly recommend the New York Sewing Center to anyone in need of sewing equipment, a clean and spacious studio, private lessons, or group classes. Its location is incredibly convenient, with some of the best fabric and notion stores just steps away!
I had a cool experience here. However, I wish the structure of the classes had been different. They use commercial patterns, so if you're looking to learn sewing and already have your own sewing machine, I honestly wouldn't recommend paying for the course. I signed up for a 4-class package that included Copy Your Pattern, Jeans Class, and two others. Out of the four classes, I was only able to finish one piece and it’s still not fully completed. I wish they could better manage the class time and provide clearer recommendations on the steps you need to follow to leave with your garment ready. Now, I’m in another country with three unfinished fabrics, which is a bit frustrating. Hopefully, they can improve this aspect for future students.
I took a multi-week beginner class at NYSC and it was a great experience! It was an easy location for me to get to. The instructor was clear and supportive with answering any questions and giving one on one help. I would recommend NYSC if you're interested in learning how to sew! I actually asked for a sewing machine for Christmas, and I am excited to continue learning!
I love the New York Sewing Center. I take private lessons with Emily and she is everything that I need in a Teacher. Extremely patient, thorough, kind, an absolute gem. The Manager Chloe is gracious and excellent at helping me to schedule. She is always there to answer any questions that I might have. I highly recommend studying here or even just taking a class. Enjoy!
BEST PLACE EVER! I have done classes and private lessons with The New York Sewing Center and they are the best. The teaching is wonderful - helpful, insightful, patient and kind. No question was too silly! I have had a variety of instructors and they are all fabulous!
