Our 4-H Summer Sewing Camp was a hit! Because of the popularity (and the FUN), we will be hosting 2 different monthly 4-H Sewing Project Clubs. We will host one for "beginners" and the other will be focused on "Clothing Construction." Here is an explanation of each club:
Sewing Project Club – just as the name suggests, will be project based sewing. This group is set up to teach beginner and intermediate sewing skills. This group will have a monthly lesson, and will complete projects that relate to the lesson. They will complete a project for the clothing contest in March, but all group members will work on the same, or at least similar style project, since they will be learning alongside the entire group.
Clothing Construction Class - This group is set up for students who have already mastered basic sewing. Students will learn more independently, and will explore more advanced techniques. To be eligible for this class, students must either have been a member of the sewing project club for two years, or must successfully pass a skill assessment. This test is designed to confirm student’s abilities in the following areas:
1. Identify and use basic sewing notions
2. Be familiar with and exhibit proper use of sewing machine parts
3. Correctly thread a sewing machine
4. Complete a stitching assessment
5. Have experience sewing with a pattern
Members who have their own sewing machine will be asked to bring it each month. We have 15 sewing machines at the 4-H office and those will be loaned to members who do not have a machine. They will not be allowed to take them home, but will use them at the 4-H office during the class time. The first 15 members who register and request to borrow a machine will get that option. Mrs. Madlyn Zaunbrecher will lead both groups. Register by clicking the link below.
Cost - $30 per member due at first meeting
First Meeting will be in October - members who register will receive an email.
