Project Description Sewing Project

Sewing introduces you to the diverse world of clothing and sewing and includes 3 levels. This project will help you explore the world of sewing and textiles by completing various sewing projects.

Project Requirements

Sewing projects will not need the project books unless they want one as a reference tool. 

*** Please note, if you do not attend at least one workshop in your project area during the 4-H year, you will be required to complete activities in your project book and turn it in with your record book. The number of activities required to complete a 4-H year in each project book can be found here.

Sewing students - please come prepared:

♣ Prewash your fabrics before cutting out pattern ♣ If comfortable, cut the patterns prior to the workshop as there is limited space ♣ Know your sewing machine - how to thread and rewind a bobbin, using the foot pedal.

Minimum sewing supplies to have handy are: Scissors - preferably shears, Dressmaker pins, or quilting pins, Pin cushion, Seam ripper, 6" ruler, Seam gauge, Measuring tape, Marking pencil/pen, and Sewing machine (if you don't have one, we have one or two machines to use at workshops)
