Each fall several 4-H teens and volunteer leaders gather to share projects and activities as well as participate in hands on workshops. The workshop is a two day event starting with early bird activities
and then moves on to hands on workshops.
There is also a 'style show' sharing items made by the participants that include re-purposed clothing, accessories, and textiles of any medium.
This is a learning experience and "idea exchange" to see what is happening in other counties in the clothing and textiles area.
A Silent Auction is held in the evening to raise funds for the State Clothing and Textiles program.
Donations for the auction are made by anyone who wants to donate useful items. Suggested items include sewing and sewing related craft items.
This is a fun event and yours truly was the high bidder on more than a few items! Lucky me!
An on-going Fabric sale and Pattern exchange is open to everyone who has a surplus of stash. Many participants donate items and then they go home with their 'NEW' purchases!
It is always fun to hunt thru the piles of fabrics and sort thru the sewing/craft books.
Classes this year include a variety open to every skill level.
Workshop classes included: Quilting; Hobo Bags; Critter Softies;
Recyling T-Shirts into Yoga Pants, Skirts, and Bags;
Knitting Scarves; Hot Dog Pillowcases; Quillows; Infinity Scarves;
Needle/Jewelry Book;
Felted Mittens;
Wall hangings;
Easiest Zipper Applications; Yard Quilt;
Amigurumi; and several more classes.
Everyone learns something, even the instructors. Participants are not shy to share their unique notions.
One that I found very interesting was this
Needle Pack. What a great find!
Not to mention a lighted seam ripper!
Hello! We all need one of these.
