STITCHED Fashion Camp @ Moving Thread

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

What Kids Will Create at STITCHED

Campers will dive into a full range of exciting 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 1-2 wearable pieces like tops, skirts, dresses, or shorts.

By the end of the week, campers showcase their creations in a family-friendly fashion show - a true highlight of the summer sewing camp experience.

Designed for All Skill Levels

Whether your child is new to sewing or already a budding designer, 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. Advanced skills? Let’s level them up.

More Than Sewing: A Full Fashion Journey

STITCHED goes far beyond the sewing machine. Campers explore the fashion industry 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 STITCHED

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 deep industry experience and a passion for mentoring the next generation. He created STITCHED to give young creatives an unforgettable introduction to fashion that’s fun, inclusive, and confidence-building. 

A Week of Connection and Creativity

STITCHED is about more than just 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 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: shop for custom fabric if they want to personalize their projects even more.

Amazing program!!

Thanks to Robb and Lissa for a wonderful week! My daughter was a bit nervous about attending without a friend but Lissa assured me that she would make friends...and she did! Arabella learned so many skills and even made her own dress. She can't wait to take the extended class in the fall!

Incredible Program

Big thanks to Lissa and Rob for making such an incredible program where kiddos like mine can learn skills they will never lose and exist so completely in their creativity through fashion design.

This is one of Reagan’s biggest dreams and you made it her reality. I can’t wait to see where she continues to take it.

My daughter has attended multiple sessions with Lissa and Rob and has created some amazing designs, met friends, collaborated on projects, and gained a lot of confidence in her sewing and design skills. Such a wonderful experience all around!

Outstanding!

Super fun, highly creative, and confidence building camp for my 10 year old daughter. She learned to create so many great pieces and gained a new and inspired perspective on fashion and design. She can't wait to go back again.
