STITCHED Fashion Camp @ Moving Thread

If you're looking for a summer Fashion Camp that blends creativity, confidence, and community, STITCHED Fashion Camp at Moving Thread is it. This isn’t just about stitching hems. It’s a full fashion design experience created specifically for kids ages 8 to 13. At this Fashion Camp, campers get hands-on with everything from fashion sketching to garment construction, then finish the week by staging their own runway show.

What Kids Will Create at This Fashion Camp

Campers dive into a full range of projects, learning how to:

• Create inspiration boards and color stories

• Draw fashion illustrations

• Hand- and machine-sew original garments

• Embellish designs with personal flair

• Build a 4-look illustrated collection

• Construct 1 to 2 wearable pieces like tops, skirts, dresses, or shorts

By the end of the week, this Fashion Camp wraps with a family-friendly fashion show, a true highlight of the experience.

Designed for All Skill Levels

This Fashion Camp is built for beginners and more experienced young designers. Whether your child is brand new to sewing or already obsessed with fashion, STITCHED meets them where they are. Campers learn at their own pace, guided by the talented Rob Younkers and Lissa Ziranek. No sewing experience? No problem. Already confident on a machine? This Fashion Camp will help them level up.

More Than Sewing: A Full Fashion Journey

STITCHED Fashion Camp goes far beyond the sewing machine. Campers explore the fashion world from design to merchandising and styling. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring a clothing collection to life, and kids love being part of every step.

About Rob Younkers: The Designer Behind This Fashion Camp

Rob Younkers is more than a teacher, he’s a fashion powerhouse. A former professor at Parsons and a designer for names like Dolce & Gabbana and Patricia Field, Rob brings real industry experience and a passion for mentoring the next generation. He created STITCHED Fashion Camp to give young creatives an unforgettable introduction to fashion that’s fun, inclusive, and confidence-building.

A Week of Connection and Creativity

This Fashion Camp is about more than making clothes. It’s about making friends, learning new skills, and being part of a creative, inclusive community. Campers bring their own brown-bag lunch and enjoy group meals, collaborative work sessions, and lots of encouragement. Every day is packed with discovery, and yes, sometimes a little fabric mess.

What’s Included in the Fashion Camp

Everything your child needs is provided: sewing machines, fabric, tools, and all the creative supplies. The only thing they need to bring is their imagination, and maybe some comfy clothes they don’t mind getting crafty in. Optional: campers can shop for custom fabric if they want to personalize their projects even more.
