Do our 4-H’ers know the tools of the sewing trades? The different parts of a pattern. What makes a garment better constructed than another? What textile purchase, such as a beach towel, is the better buy?

Clothing and Textile Judging at the beginner and senior levels challenge members to use and develop their critical thinking skills. Excellent judging comprises  good consumer skills, and a critical, careful eye! Seniors provided oral reasons to a judge for their placement orders. Oral reasons will be required for senior levels during the state level contests at the Delaware State Fair

Thanks to Carlene Jones, Teresa Scott and Michele Walfred for moderating this contest.
