Do I bring my own project?   People come in so many shapes, sizes and with different style preferences it would be hard for us to select and supply a project for you. 🤔  We can hook you up with a fun project using white Kona cotton and different skirt patterns designed to involve you in the creative process and learning different creative techniques.  We have dyes, paints and all kinds of trims to add your creative touch to your project.  

We do have a JoAnne fabric store close by if you need a specific pattern or fabric.  Many of our campers bring fabrics from their stash that they have had for a while and don't know what to do with.  Please feel free to call and discuss your ideas with me. 😄

I'm just not creative enough.  That's what this camp is all about!  Creativity comes from trying new techniques and getting new techniques in your memory bank.  Our camp is the perfect outlet to try new things and get coaching and support in doing so.  We make it fun to play. 

 Here is a blog I have written about creative ideas:

Can I bring my husband or family?  A retreat is all about taking time and focusing on you.  To reinvigorate your creativity.  Husbands are welcome as long as they are supportive of our fashion and sewing passions.  

Family's?  No, we are not a family vacation.  This would take away from our other campers.

Do I need to bring my own machine and sewing tools?  We have all the tools we need.  You are welcome to bring what ever tools you would like.  We have basic Brother machines, you are welcome to bring your own, just let us know so we can have one for you or clear space for yours!
