ABSTRACT
This packet contains three 4-H projects for students
beginning the sewing sequence of the textile sciences
area. The
projects cover basics of sewing using sewing machines,
more difficult
sewing machine techniques, and hand sewing. Each project provides
an
overview of what the student will learn, what materials
are needed,
and suggested projects for the area. A step-by-step plan for doing
the project, with instruction sheets and line drawings is included.
Also included are a project record, ideas for sharing the project
with others, and suggestions for additional projects.
