Camilla Wright

Founder and Owner, Sewing Lab Los Alamitos

Sewing is my passion. I learned to sew probably before I knew how to read; before I entered 1st grade. After school I would go over to my best friend Hanna's house and we'd sew new clothes for our dolls. When we got older we started sewing clothes for ourselves. I have a few class photos of me wearing clothes I made myself!

I was lucky to be able continue my love for Sewing and Fashion and received Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design with an emphasis on Sewing. After graduating I moved to New York City to work as an Assistant Designer. Ever since then I've worked in the Fashion Industry as a Fashion Designer for companies like Mudd Jeans, Skechers, Soundgirl, etc.

In 2008 I started my own collection called SOLDAT TAILORING. My highlight, so far, has been my 1st runway show on the runways during Los Angeles Fashion Week in 2013.

It is very sad to see that sewing is no longer taught at schools. That is one of the major reasons why I wanted to start the Sewing Lab. I am more than excited to be able to teach sewing to kids and adults, and to keep the craft of sewing alive! I am so proud that the Sewing Lab opened in 2014. We are in Los Alamitos, CA. Come have fun with us as we all learn and get inspired together.
