Requests resulted in a beginning sewing class taught by the Calloway County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent from August to April. Eleven volunteers followed 4-H guidelines to teach an overwhelming 96 participants, an increase from last year’s 55. Children were taught repair techniques, to use a sewing machine and serger, and to launder properly. Final garments were completed for judging and the 4-H Fashion Revue. Of the 90 participants, about 30 completed the first half of the program; 2 were male; 25 completed a garment; 15 became new 4-H members; 17 participated in the Fashion Revue; and 9 participated in the Fashion Revue for the first time. Community members donated over $4,000 of sewing supplies.
