Sewing and Fashion Design Internship Opportunity - Summer 2020

Message from Elena Victoria looking for summer interns:

"I thought this would be a great opportunity for your students who have a strong interest in sewing and design. 
I graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Apparel Design & Technology. I now own a small business that teaches youth how to design and sew clothing, as well as creating custom gowns for private clients. 

I am looking for summer interns for Summer 2020 to run my sewing camps for kids. I am currently in 4 locations, Birmingham, MI, Grosse Pointe, MI, Wilmette, IL, as well as Hinsdale IL. This is a paid internship, great for students looking to earn some money this summer while staying sharp in their skillset! Here is a short promotional video that will give students a better idea of what I do: https://vimeo.com/289121431

I was wondering if you could forward this onto your students. I am also open to coming in and speaking with the class as well. Thank you in advance for your time!"
