4-H Sewing Program Grows

Author: Kelsey Chadwick

Planning Unit: 4-H Central Operations

Major Program: Family and Consumer Science

Plan of Work: Preparing Youth and Families for Successful Futures

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The 4-H Sewing program in Graves County is growing by leaps and bounds. Over 15 youth are signed up to sew every week. Five 4-H leaders are instrumental in leading this club. Currently, four of the volunteers hold Purchase Area Master Clothing Volunteer Certification, with the last two being certified this fall. Regional programs have been held recently at the Graves County Extension Office, including the Purchase Area 4-H Fashion Revue and the Upcycling Workshop, which encouraged more youth to be involved. Youth are learning important life skills, such as how to complete a project, how to set goals, and how to master new skills through practice. The club is led by 4-H Sewing Coordinator Sandy Snarr and 4-H sewing instructors Millie Green, Robynn Garnett, Monica Jackson, and Shirley Gritton. These ladies are dedicated to teaching sewing to the next generation and we are so grateful for their time and efforts!
