Basic life skills can help youth save money and increase their ability to become independent adults in the future. Clothing leaders and the Calloway County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent have taught "Learn to Sew" classes for ages 6 to 16. Participants learn to use a sewing machine and serger, repair clothing, and coordinate fabrics and thread. Final garments are completed for judging and the Fashion Revue. The number of volunteer clothing leaders supporting the program has increased from 9 to 23, resulting in $15,640 in volunteer time contributions. This year 91 youth registered for the program, 66 continued after registration, 30 completed their project and 26 participated in 4-H Fashion Revue.
