The 4-H Sewing Project Group has always been a popular group for Scott County 4-H members.  The number of youth enrolled in 4-H Sewing for various levels has always been consistent.  The expectation is for youth to enroll in 4-H Sewing and learn valuable life skills.  Leadership is also taught and shown by example through all 4-H clubs and project groups.  Another valuable asset to the 4-H Sewing program in Scott County, is the ability for youth to take the skills and leadership they have learned to help others.  When 4-H Sewing members get older and move into higher levels of 4-H Sewing, they begin to help with the beginning levels of 4-H Sewing.  It is a process of learning and then teaching others.  4-H believes in teaching leadership skills and then allowing opportunities for the youth to be leaders to those younger than them, or to those of similar ages.  4-H Sewing also helps to establish confidence in youth.  Recently, a Scott County 4-H Sewing member participated in the State 4-H Sewing Skill-a-Thon, and was the overall winner.  She also competed at the State Fashion Revue at Tenn Conference and was the overall winner.  The same member went on to interview for a place on the State 4-H Teen Fashion Leadership Board, and was chosen to be on the Board.  The 4-H member started out with 4-H Beginning Sewing and worked her way up through the various levels.  She used the skills she learned and confidence she gained, to volunteer and help younger 4-H members be the best they could be.  She is excited about the opportunities 4-H Sewing has given her, and for what else her future may hold as she starts on her new role as a State 4-H Teen Fashion Leadership Board member.
