Impact Report Held 4 sewing workshops with two girls attending. One is in sewing I and has learned the parts and how to use a sewing machine, she has learned about the supplies she needs to sew and how to control her sewing machine and how to sew straight, she has made a scrunchie and pin cushion and has started a tote bag. The other little girl is in sewing II and she has completed her patchwork pillow and learned about matching corners. She has started a pair of capris and the extra special shirt and learned about fitting a pattern. Held a baking workshop with 9 4-Hers, 4 Mothers, and 1 Senior Helper. The 4-Hers learned about the roles the various ingredients play in baked products, food safety, how to measure, and how to read directions, and most important how to fix a mess up. They did an experiment using muffins and learned why they should not be mixed along time. They prepared a streusel coffee cake, baking powder biscuits, and an eggless chocolate cake. Two of our new 4-Hers cannot eat eggs or meat for religious reasons. They all also took part in washing dishes and putting everything away during a rotating assembly line. The mothers reported that they had even learned some new things. Home Economics Fun Day was held with 11 Novice and Junior 4-Hers participating. We had the help of one senior 4-Her. The participants learned about working together as a team, during a treasure hunt and word game and learned about food safety. They prepared a complete dinner suitable for vegetarians and set the table including learning how to fold a pretty napkin. Only two of the participants had sewed on a sewing machine, the rest learned how to iron and control a sewing machine. They all made quick sacks from some donated fabric samples. Two entered their sacks in the sewing department at the fair.
