VT/643/0495/200/953231/346036 To The 4-H Leader: One of the greatest rewards in daily living is watching young people become excited about learning, then using that knowledge to make or sew something successfully. There is a special bonus from knowing that you've helped them become excited and productive through giving helpful information and encouragement. This leader's guide has helpful background information and suggestions for encouragement in 4-H Personal Appearance, Clothing, and Textiles (4-H PACT) projects. It will supplement the facts in the members' manuals and give you an overview of the entire 4-H PACT program. It suggests resource materials for project meetings since you aren't expected to know everything about Personal Appear­ ance, Clothing, and Textiles in order to be a good leader. Don't panic! You don't have to read the whole book! Just read pages 2 through the evaluation sec­ tion on page 7, then refer to the sections for the goals your members are working toward. Members aren't expected to read their whole manual; you're not expected to read the entire Leader's Guide. On pages 8, 9, 10, and 11 you will find a Master Plan of the four levels of 4-H PACT. This is a list of all information covered in the four levels. Though not new, we are emph_asizing the areas of Citi­ zenship, Community Service, and Leadership. In 4-H PACT there are specific goals for the 4-H'er to complete which relate these areas to Clothing and Textiles. Enclosed in this leader's guide you will find a printed letter to the 4-H'ers enrolled in 4-H PACT projects each year. The letters should be copied on Extension letterhead stationery. On the back of the letter there is a space for you to include club meeting dates, workshop dates, and information the parents should know about the 4-H PACT projects in your local club. We wish you much pleasure and success from serving as a 4-H PACT leader. We think you will find personal satisfaction and self confidence. We expect you will be stimulated by working with youth and fascinated with the varied subject matter. You may even be motivated to try something new with your own personal appearance, clothing, and textiles. The Virginia 4-H Clothing and Textiles Curriculum Committee: Anne C. Carrington, Extension Agent, 4-H, City of Lynchburg, Chairman Dr. Beatrice Kalka, Extension Specialist, Clothing and Textiles, VPl&SU Irene Leech, Extension Specialist, 4-H, VPl&SU Evangeline Swain, Extension Specialist, 4-H, VPl&SU Jean Vandergrift, Extension Agent, Home Economics, Roanoke Co. Mary Ruth Francis, Volunteer 4-H Leader, Roanoke Co. To the 4-H Parents: Do the clothes your children wear ever surprise you? They seem to spend a lot of money and a good deal of time on their clothing and personal appearance. They like to experiment with grooming pro­ ducts and clothing fads. You probably wish they would become more interested in the routine care of their clothes. The 4-H Personal Appearance, Clothing, and Textiles (4-H PACT) projects capitalize on youths' interests and provide direction to their experiments. They encourage good habits and de­ velopment of skills so that youths will look their best. Appearance is important, especially at school or when applying for a job. Member manuals are written at four levels. A member is expected to use one manual for two or three years. A new member will begin with the manual most suited to his/her level of skills. Members are encouraged to keep their manuals and project materials in a looseleaf notebook. Projects and activities are planned around goals in ten areas. Every year each member will do the "planning and completing" goals (numbers I - 3), plus at least three goals of their own choosing from any other area. Planning and Completing Buying Clothes Clothes and People Wardrobe Planning Grooming Citizenship and Community Service Care of Clothing Leadership and Initiative Fabrics/Textiles Sewing for Fun; Developing Construction Skills As you can see, clothing projects include much more than sewing. In fact, a member can enroll in 4-H PACT projects and not sew at all! A member who chooses to sew can make bike bags, stuffed toys, pillows, etc., as well as garments for himself or herself and for others. The 4-H member can sew items for other 4-H projects, such as a horse blanket, or placemats and accessories for a food show-off. A member may add goals or change goals during the year. You can perhaps prevent a need for change by talking over their choices at planning time (now) and noting the supplies needed for the activities. Beginning at Level 2 you will need to provide a sewing instruction book if your 4-H'er plans to sew. Any sewing book will be satisfactory (McCalls, Singer, Coats & Clark, Sew Smart, Vogue); however, the Simplicity Sewing Book was the one used in preparing 4-H PACT materials. (over) The 4-H members who complete their goals and have successful experiences have parents who are interested and supportive of their projects. Such parents

  • Fibers and Fabrics Level 1 Oregon 4-H Clothing Construction Fact Sheets: Basic Skills—Level 1
    Archival copy. For current version, see: https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/4-h32017 Fibers and Fabrics Level 1 Oregon 4-H Clothing Construction Fact Sheets: Basic Skills—Level 1 4-H 320-17 • October 2014 Natural and man-made fibers Fibers are the basic component of fabrics. Each type of fiber has unique characteristics, and fabrics have the same characteristics as the fibers they are made from. Learning about fibers is important because it helps you understand how the fabric will perform and what care the fabric needs. Fibers can be natural or man-made. Natural fibers Natural fibers come from natural sources, such as plants and animals. There are four natural fibers: cotton, linen, silk, and wool (figure 1). These fibers are naturally absorbent and porous. This is why fabrics made from natural fibers will be comfortable to wear in a variety of temperatures. However, natural fibers will Figure 1. Cotton is an example of a also shrink if they are not handled carefully. natural fiber. Man-made fibers The term “man-made fiber” refers to all fibers not found in nature. Man-made fibers are made from a synthetic source (chemicals, such as petroleum) or a cellulose source that has been enhanced in a lab (figure 2). Man-made fibers include nylon, polyester, olefin, rayon, acetate, triacetate, spandex, and acrylic. These fibers are highly resilient, so they resist creases. However, because they are not very absorbent or porous, they may be uncomfortable in hot or humid weather. Woven, knitted, and other fabric construction Fibers or yarns made from fibers can be used in many ways to make fabrics.

  • The Selvage/Selvage Challenge
    Threads/Association of Sewing and Design Professionals 2021 Challenge The Selvage/Selvage Challenge Challenge Terms and Schedule Smart designers and sewers are mindful of their materials. They see potential in a wide range of fabric sources and find ways to use them creatively. This year, Threads challenges you, the members of the Association of Sewing and Design Professionals, to expand your definition of fabric and incorporate pre-worn garments into your designs. We also ask you to include coordinating yardage and make use of it all the way to the edge. We would like you to create a garment or ensemble worthy of a professional setting, whether that means going to an office or appearing in a high-definition video conference from your home workspace. Please define the “office” you are designing for. Consider how your ensemble will look in that space. You may need a head-to-toe look for giving in-person presentations, or an outfit that looks dynamic on camera from the waistline up, with a comfortable, easy-to-wear bottom half. Your entry should contain at least 25 percent fabric or design elements from one or more used ready-to-wear garments. You may select garments from your own closet or another source. We encourage you to look at menswear, knits, and even special-occasion dresses, in addition to more conventional office-wear pieces, when you are choosing pieces to upcycle. Feel free to incorporate embellishments, closures, and other features from the garments you pick. The remaining fabric can be of your choice, but you must include a total of at least 36 inches of visible fabric selvage in the design.

Selvages can be so much more, however, whether used for use fabric edges structural support, as embellishment, or as a source of inspiration. You may not usually buy a piece of fabric because of its selvage, but you BY MARY RAY just might start once you learn how using a beautiful and interesting sel- vage creatively can turn a humdrum garment into a statement piece. Some selvages are unobtrusive, narrow, and woven a little tighter with stronger yarns than the rest of the fabric, while some are much fancier, with multi- colored yarns, woven patterns, or feathery edges—or sometimes all three. Once you start looking at selvages with a designer’s eye, you’ll see how useful they can be. Here are nine ways you can use selvages that are just too good to discard. Mary Ray is a Threads contributing editor and teaches apparel design and construction at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. 36 THREADS Selvages, like those shown on the facing page, may be reserved or flashy.

  • Clothing Construction Guidelines and Forms
    Clothing Construction Guidelines and Forms General 1. Members should be enrolled in the project at the beginning of the project year, October 1. (Separate Guidelines for Buymanship and Fashion Revue are provided on the website or at the 4- H office.) 2. It is suggested that all Clothing Construction participants use the guidelines relative to their level – Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. 3. Each member who signs up for a clothing/sewing or buymanship project should be given a copy of these guidelines (available for printing from the website) to share with their parents. This would be helpful when choosing an appropriate pattern and material. The ideas listed are just suggested techniques and learning experiences that could be learned at the various stages. It doesn’t mean that the member has to learn all of the techniques during that time period. It depends on the individual and how much they can handle. Each member should have a new learning experience with each new project. It is vitally important not to let the member get overwhelmed with their project. 4. The project selected each year should be made with regard to the 4-H member’s interest, length of attention span and ability, and be mutually agreed upon by the member and the project leader. 5. Members should attend at least 3 project meetings and evaluate projects with leaders throughout the year. 6. Project leaders should decide whether the member has fulfilled the project requirements before the evaluation and discuss with the Project Superintendent if necessary. 7. Members wishing to complete projects in buymanship and/or sewing should enroll in each project and fulfill requirements for each project.

  • Pattern Layout, Pinning and Cutting
    Lesson Pattern Layout, Pinning 8 and Cutting Objectives This lesson will help you to • identify the various ways fabric may be folded in preparation for layout, pinning, and cutting. • correctly lay out a pattern. • give reasons for various layout, pinning, and cutting procedures. • interpret layout, pinning, and cutting information found on the pattern instruction sheet. Words to Know lengthwise fold double fold even plaid partial fold repeat uneven plaid crosswise fold Gathering Information Following the correct pattern layout will help ensure that your garment is cut out on- grain. Pinning and cutting your garment carefully will avoid wasting fabric. This lesson will provide the information you need to lay out, pin, and cut out your pattern pieces. You will first need to make sure the cut ends of your fabric are on-grain. If they are off- grain, follow the directions in Lesson 4, “Fabric Preparation,” to straighten the grain before preparing the fabric for pattern layout. Folding Fabric can be folded in a variety of ways the Fabric before pattern pieces are positioned for cutting. The type of fold used depends on • the number of pattern pieces that must be placed on a folded edge • the fold that results in the most economic use of the fabric • the width of the fabric • the pattern size Pattern companies have already taken these factors into consideration for you. Therefore, you should fold your fabric as shown in the diagram found on your pattern instruction sheet. (Continued) 101 L5-8.indd 101 8/8/2012 8:59:57 AM 102 Successful Sewing Lengthwise fold.

  • Embroidery and Dark Fabrics
    Lesson 11 – Embroidery and Dark Backgrounds We have now completed the basics. QuikPrep Appliqué is so much more than just stitching the four elements. With QuikPrep Appliqué there is a fast, easy, accurate way to add embroidery and other embellishments to our appliqué blocks. We can eliminate ugly seam allowances that show through thin appliqué fabric by lining those patches. We can use the same lining technique to pad our patches making beautiful sculptured flowers or playful kids’ quilts. We can do both split leaves, skinny stems and berries. We can even work on dark background fabrics without the mess of chalk markers. Let the fun begin Our QuikPrep Appliqué Sampler has embroidered veins on both the leaves and the petals. Let’s add those to our blocks now. Embroidery Wrong side It really is as easy as 1, 2, 3. 1. Thread your appliqué needle with thread that is the same color as your embroidery floss. 2. Working on the backside of your background Figure 4_1 fabric, do a short running stitch over each line of embroidery. 3. Flip to the front side. Embroidery over the running Wrong side stitch line. Be sure to keep your running stitches short. Longer stitches have a tendency to show. Most of the time you won’t have to take the running stitch out of your work. Figure 4_2 Copyright ©2018 Connie Sue Haidle. All rights reserved 71 Your embroidery will cover it. For the veins on our QuikPrep Appliqué Sampler either the backstitch or the stem stitch will work well. Right side Use either 1 or 2 strands of embroidery floss or #12 pearl cotton.
