Youth 4- H Sewing Program
The primary goal of the
Kentucky 4-H Sewing program
is to teach youth about the art
and skills of creating useful
items using needle and thread.
This includes not only the use
of a hand needle and thread,
but the sewing machine as
well. Sewing can be used to
create clothing and wardrobe
essentials, as well as, useful
items for daily living.
Equally important to
teaching youth skills they
can use throughout their lives
is the goal of encouraging
critical thinking and creativity.
