Summer Sewing Schedule

Thank you for your patience on the arrival of this schedule! We have had a LOT of calls to register for summer and we are sorry we kept putting you off until we got our calendar together. We are ready!!!

Our most popular summer sewing option is our "CAMP" where students come every day for a whole week! If you are a returning student, you will pick up where you left off, making clothing out of your pattern packet, matching doll clothes, or craft items.

New students will be able to make the following in their first summer camp: small drawstring bag, large drawstring bag, skirt, coordinating blouse, and matching outfit for your doll (or similar depending on interest). New students need to purchase $40 pattern packet--enough patterns to last a year's worth of weekly sewing lessons.

Our sewing lessons cost $15/hour. When you sign up with a friend it drops to $12.50/hour; sign up with two or more friends and it drops to $10/hour. Our summer camps are special exceptions. All students get the special $10/hour price when you sign up for a summer camp. There is a $20 non-refundable registration fee to reserve your spot, as they fill up quickly, which is applied to your tuition fee.

Please call Meadow at (801) 458-7969 with questions or to register or email sewschool@gmail.com.

Spring Break & Off-Track Sewing Camps

Call and register for your week-long sewing camp today. Students LOVE week-long sewing camps because they can see a lot of progress very quickly. In a week-long, two-hour-per-day camp a beginning student will have enough time to complete the notion's bag, sewing bag, skirt, and blouse. Bump the daily camp up to three-hours-per-day and the student will also have enough time to complete a matching outfit for an 18" doll or Build-A-Bear. Tuition drops from $15/hour to $10/hour when you sign up for a week-long camp.

Monday-Friday (Spring Break/Off-Track) Two-Hour Camp $100
Monday-Friday (Spring Break/Off-Track) Three-Hour Camp $150

Call or email for locations and times: (801) 884-2481 or sewschool@gmail.com

Yay, we are excited to announce we are on Facebook! There are a lot of great reasons to like us but here are only a few of the reasons why:

1. We post cute pictures of our students, which means YOU will be able to see cute shots of YOUR CHILD sewing in your news feed. (We do not post any information about your child that would in any way endanger them.)

2. We offer discounts and coupons you will only see if you are in our Facebook feed.

3. The most exciting reason to "like us" is because we have fun contests on Facebook where you and your child could earn great prizes like cash and free lessons!!! Right now we have TWO contests and TWO prizes:

#1 Facebook Contest
$25 CASH WINNER FOR OUR VIRTUAL FASHION SHOW CONTEST 
Post as many pictures as you want on our Facebook page of you or your child wearing an outfit she or he made in sewing class or holding a project she/he made. These can be old pictures when they were young or current pictures. We will pick a WINNER by February 28th 2013 and award that person $25 just for posting a picture. You do NOT need to be a current student to be in this contest!!!

#2 Facebook Contest
FREE SEWING LESSONS FOR A MONTH & FREE "CASUALS" or "2nd Year"
PATTERN PACKET FOR MOST LIKES ON YOUR FASHION SHOW PICTURE
After you post your picture on our Facebook page for the Virtual Fashion Show Contest, share the post and get the most likes and you will receive one month of free lessons and a free pattern packet. This is $100 value!
