| Impact Report | In order to encourage more youth to participate in 4-H sewing projects, the Home Economist conducted a series of sewing labs to teach basic sewing skills as taught in 4-H Sewing projects I and II. A total of 16 youth participated in ten labs where they used the skills they learned to complete projects to be modeled in the County and District 4-H Fashion Revues. The projects completed by the 4-Hers were also entered in County and State Fairs. 4-Hers participating in sewing labs learned basic sewing skills such as parts of the machine, threading a machine, fabric selection, measuring and cutting, sewing on buttons, making a waist casing, and basic straight stitching for seams and hems. Other skills taught during the labs pertained to modeling the garments made as projects and focused on posture and hygiene. The skills developed in the sewing labs will be used as 4-Hers pursue more advanced levels of sewing projects. The labs were not only opportunities for the Home Economist to teach sewing skills, but also for older 4-Hers to assist younger 4-Hers while practicing leadership skills even as they developed sewing skills. |
