Sewing 101

In this four-part beginner program, youth will learn the parts of a sewing machine, practice sewing and turning corners, and make a square pillow cover and a pillowcase!

Participants will need to bring their own sewing machine and some supplies, and 4-H will provide the facility and guidance. Join us to build new skills and complete a sewing project for fair or just for fun.
