Research has shown that increasing sewing and alteration skills in order to make clothing to fit, increases self esteem in young people. Sewing has been an area of much interest within Nelson County, however, seems to be a skill that is not commonly held by volunteers. 4-H Agent worked with a sewing volunteer to schedule a day camp series that worked within the volunteer's schedule as well as spring break of some schools.

The program allowed youth to learn and work on skills including identification of sewing machine pieces and sewing tools, hand stitching, machine stitching, measuring, pinning, cutting, marking, and more. 

All participants completed a pair of pajama pants that fit their own specific measurements.
