Sewing Shorts Outfits

Last week we tie-dyed a t-shirt and 1 yard of fabric to match. Everyone got to pick what color they wanted. Then, hopefully, everyone rinsed and washed their fabric over the weekend.

Remember for our meeting on March 6th (that is THIS FRIDAY COMING UP) to bring:

Sewing Box with:
washed and ironed tie-dyed fabric
pair of shears
tape measure
straight pins in your completed pin cushion
ALSO - bring a pair of scissors to cut paper with!!!

We'll be cutting out your shorts. You DO NOT need to bring your t-shirt. Keep it in a safe place until later this spring.

Here is G with a completed outfit on that Mrs. M made for someone who wasn't able to be at the meeting (gee - wonder who that is???). I wanted everyone to see how awesome they will be when they are done. We will also be embroidering our Thrills & Skills Logo on the t-shirt with green thread using an embroidery machine - under the careful guidance of Mrs. G. So - this outfit isn't REALLY done yet!
Your updated schedules show all these dates - but I want to post them here so you know what they are about...
By April 17th everyone needs to have their outfits done. Then you need to let one of the leaders (Mrs. D or Mrs. M) know if you are going to participate in the CLOTHING EVALUATIONS. They will be on April 27th from 6-8pm, at the County 4H offices downtown . You will be able to let the leaders know WHAT time you would prefer when you register. On April 27th you will need to wear you outfit down to the 4H office - and show it off. Experienced evaluators will judge them on the construction of the garment (as it is seen on you) and how the outfit looks on the individual.
On May 9th - at 10:30 at the Jo-Ann store in Colonie, 4H will have a FASHION REVIEW. This year it is called the A-May-Zing Creations. It is a regional 4-H Fashion Revue and about 75 participants are expected! In order to participate you MUST HAVE PARTICIPATED in the Clothing Evaluation beforehand. Evaluation sheets from 4/27, ribbons and awards will be presented at the Fashion Revue.
After this, if you want to, you may also participate in the Fashion Revue at the Schaghticoke Fair.
