Sew South Tampa

"We've heard great things about summer sewing camp and thought we'd give it a try, what an AMAZING find!!! My daughter absolutely loved it!!! She learned how to use a sewing machine and brought home so many great, creative projects. The facility is intimate so kids get great attention and education. It's a local business with the owner, her daughter and a volunteer who take great pride in teaching kids not only sewing skills, but great life lessons (e.g. honesty, respecting others, listening to instructions, etc...). I really like the fun, creative, and structured learning environment. It was one of my daughter's favorite summer camps. So much that she's signed up for the program during the school year. Would highly recommend for anyone with kids yearning for a creative outlet in a great learning environment!!"

"I can't say enough nice things about Sew South Tampa Lori and Rachel are great teachers and have the patience for all levels of sewers. I would recommend this for any parent that is looking for not only a program that will teach your kids lessons about sewing, but about life as well. At the end of the year, they host a fashion show and over the years it's has grown and become an established part of the curriculum and parents and kids can look forward to!"

"Their summer camp is a great option for busy parents. At the end of the summer they do a fashion show to show off all they've learned and I was very impressed. Rachel (one of the sewing teachers) is awesome! Would recommend to a friend with kids."

"I had the pleasure of experiencing the Fashion Show this year and I just have to say these girls have developed an amazing program! One student made a skirt/jacket set that looked straight out of Chanel. I highly suggest this amazing organization. Owners/instructors, Rachel and Lori, are both patient and inspiring! I feel sewing is becoming a lost art and Sew South Tampa is making it fun and relevant again. They are starting to implement adult classes in addition to the after school kids program. I cannot recommend Sew South Tampa enough!"

"Sew South Tampa has taught my sister and I amazing life skills. I took adult classes and my sister took summer camps. Though my sister was a bit older than some other campers, she had never sewed before. This thought made her a bit nervous because she didn’t want to get left behind. However, after just one day of the week long camp, my sister was SO excited to go back and finish her projects, which turned out AMAZING. The camps were beginner-friendly, materials were prepped beforehand, and SST has many themed camps to choose from! I took adult classes and I am truly amazed with how much I learned. I didn’t even know how to thread a needle when I first began. After taking SST’s adult classes, I feel empowered with this new set of skills, and I use sewing in my everyday life now. Sewing is truly a lost art form and for my birthday this year, I will definitely be treating myself to a sewing machine so I can continue to foster and grow the fundamental skills the SST teachers taught me."
