Book NowKids’ Summer Sewing Camp (Afternoons)
Artisan Stitch’s Kids’ Summer Sewing Camps (mornings or afternoons) are the perfect way for kids aged 8-11 to explore the exciting world of sewing! It’s a fun, creative, and educational activity for your child this summer. Over three engaging sessions (2 hours per day), children will learn basic machine and hand-sewing skills while developing confidence, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
Why Sewing for Children?
Sewing is not just a practical life skill—it’s an adventure in creativity and self-expression! At our Kids’ Summer Sewing Camps, children will:
🧵 Build Essential Skills – Learn how to safely use a sewing machine, sew straight lines and curves, and understand basic construction techniques.
🎨 Boost Creativity – Experiment with fabric, colours, and textures to make fun projects they’ll be proud to show off.
💡 Develop Focus & Patience – Following step-by-step instructions helps strengthen concentration and perseverance.
🙌 Improve Coordination & Motor Skills – Using a sewing machine and handling fabric enhances hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
🌍 Learn Eco-Awareness – By making their own items, children gain an appreciation for sustainable fashion, reducing waste, and valuing handmade over mass-produced goods.
🤝 Enjoy Social Interaction – Working alongside peers in a fun, relaxed setting helps build friendships and teamwork skills.

Useful Links:
If you are buying a sewing machine for your child(ren), I advise against the mini or midi machines sold in craft supply shops. They are poor quality, frustrating to use and lack features children will need as their skills develop. Please contact a specialist sewing machine dealer who will be able to advise on a good machine for a longer term learning experience. My recommendation is Pembertons Sewing Machine Centre, who have the widest range of machines in Scotland and are a 3rd generation family firm.
