Summer Camp - Week Three

These ladies constantly amaze me.  This week, for sure, there were the usual fantastic designs and impressive technical skills and fun and shenanigans. . . . But we had a truly defining moment where the Designers all came together and showed their fine character. 

On Friday – Show Day – we simply lost track of the time (there are always a zillion last minute details) when SUDDENLY we noticed that the Show was supposed to start in FIFTEEN MINUTES and we hadn’t done our usual transformation of the Sewing Room into Glamorous Theatre.  OH NO!!!!!!  The Girls (who are typically doing the finishing touches on their hair and makeup at this time) threw it into WARP SPEED x 100!! Sewing machines, scissors, chairs, tables, brooms, plates of cookies, ramps and stage were all tossed into the air and landed in perfect position . . . and we were only about 20 minutes late.  Un-BELIEVABLE!  What an extraordinary group of poised, talented, big-hearted, Team Players!

Summer Camp - Week 2

Whew!  Finally back.  I’ve been LAGGING . . . ‘cause every day at Summer Camp has been CHOCK FULL of fun and fashion and new friends.  Week Two was AWESOME – not just because the Designers ROCKED! – but the Boutique had a morning and an afternoon session.  Do the math kids – that’s a whole lotta Sewing going on!  This week some of the Designers attempted to re-purpose old clothes into something completely different and I think you’re gonna be amazed at the results.  I sure was.  Talk about CREATIVITY!!!!  

Just finished our first week of Summer Camp – and phew!! That was a BLAST! My biggest surprise was seeing how these Designers – many of whom have never even touched a sewing machine in their lives – can jump in and create something spectacular.  Starting with a just a table full of fabric and their imagination – they designed and completely finished a whole outfit in just one week!  WOW!  What they came up with was ambitious, Summery and totally unique.  On that last Friday, everyone went home with some new skills, a dynamite new outfit, a bunch of new friends and great memories of a week spent designing and creating with fellow Fashionistas.
