Who we are: The Fashion Class has been providing sewing and fashion design programs since 2010. What started in NYC has grown to four locations and counting!
- Camp runs weekly starting June 29th through August 28th 2026 from 10am-3pm!
- Extended day with extra creative classes (hand sewing, jewelry making, and room décor projects) available from 9am-5pm each week.
- Projects and lessons will change each week so campers can continue throughout the summer.
- Week ends with a fashion show!
What we do: To keep young minds engaged, each camp day will feature unique design and fashion lessons including the highlight of the day; sewing. During sewing class, fashion campers learn to use a sewing machine (complete with finger guards and speed control!) plus layout a pattern, measure and cut fabric. By the end of the week, campers will have created garments or accessories that they can take home and wear!
Plus, we go beyond the sewing machine with a big-picture introduction to fashion. Campers learn sewing skills along with illustration, merchandising, fashion history, the business of fashion, entrepreneurship, and some DIY! All lessons are age appropriate, easy to understand and hands on.
Our specialized curriculum—developed in partnership with pattern makers, illustrators, and educators over ten years—is designed around what works best for kids, including:
- Limited Class Size “Boutique” limited camp sizes of 12 students and 2 teachers ensure every kid gets the attention they deserve.
- Exceptional Teachers Our teachers combine real-world experience with specialized training and bring kindness and empathy along with energy and enthusiasm to the classroom.
- Safety First Covered blades on fabric scissors along with finger guards and speed control on all sewing machines ensure little hands are safe!

How Monthly Tuition Works:
- Our school-year classes run from September through May and include on average, 37 classes over the full school year.
- Tuition is divided into equal monthly payments, billed on the 25th of the month, so your monthly rate stays the same regardless of how many class dates fall within a particular month. Some months may have more classes and others fewer due to holidays and the school calendar.
- Your enrollment continues automatically throughout the school year unless canceled with 30 days' notice.
- If cancellation is not requested 30 days prior to your billing date, your enrollment will carry over to the next month automatically and you will continue to be billed on a monthly basis.
- All enrolled students have access to unlimited makeup classes, so long as their membership is active.
Making Up a Missed Class:
Currently enrolled members enjoy unlimited makeup classes for any missed sessions. To schedule a makeup class, simply contact us to arrange another available class time.
