Have you ever wished your wardrobe was a little more reflective of your interests and personality?  Have you ever added flair to your clothes?

Thrift Flip is all about taking basic clothes and uplifting them using techniques like adding applique, strategic tears, patches or specialty stitching, and screen printing.  Campers will be using sewing machines and hand-stitching techniques to add some artistic expression to their own clothes.  Campers will also make small samples to learn techniques they will then apply to their own clothing articles.  

Students will need a variety of clothing they already own.  Please have camper bring in the following items on their first day of camp:  A pair of blue jeans, a light jacket (unlined), a plain t-shirt.  

Ages 9-11
