Success Story4-H Embroidery Workshops



4-H Embroidery Workshops

Author: Sherri Farley

Planning Unit: Campbell County CES

Major Program: Family and Consumer Science

Plan of Work: 4-H Youth Development - Family and Consumer Science

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Campbell County 4-H offered a Stamped Embroidery workshop for youth. Fourteen youth participated and 6 volunteer adults assisted. The youth learned and practiced 3 stitches to become familiar with threading a needle and basic embroidery skills before beginning their project.  When they felt comfortable, they started on a basic design. Several completed their hoop that night. A second workshop was held 2 weeks later for those who wanted to complete their project and begin another one with 2 additional stitches. 3 youth attended the second workshop.

The 6 volunteers enjoyed their time with assisting the youth and expressed interest in an adult embroidery class. The adult embroidery class has been scheduled and has 12 participants registered.

A youth embroidery series of classes will be held in the spring. This series will include embroidery on fabric, wood, paper, and other surfaces. Several of the same volunteers have offered to help with the series. A focus will also be on entering the completed projects in the fair.
