Planning Unit: Campbell County CES
Major Program: Family and Consumer Science
Plan of Work: 4-H Youth Development - Family and Consumer Science
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Campbell County 4-H Sewing club had a great first year under the leadership of a new volunteer, Stacey Linder. She helped six 4-H'ers have confidence in using a sewing machine and finishing multiple projects including hand sewing a pin cushion, making a garment, sewing a tote bag or neck pillow, and learning the parts of a sewing machine. All six youth showed interest in exhibiting their garments in the county fair later this summer. Stacey has shown interest in teaching a camp counselor workshop this summer as well as a fall sewing series. One parent stated, "Charlie is only 9 but was very excited for the club. I’ll admit my expectations were low because how much can you teach a group of kids in 7 weeks. Boy was I wrong! This class taught all the basics then quickly moved onto some fantastic projects. Charlie’s sewing knowledge grew exponentially and she loved every minute of it. She now feels more confident using our machine at home and has already started making some new creations. Lastly, I would be amiss if I didn’t tell you how fantastic of a teacher that Stacey was. She has so much sewing knowledge to share with the kids and did so with equal as much patience even when things were a little crazy. She was definitely the icing on the fantastic class cake."
