Special Edition about upcoming 4-H opportunities!!! Mark Your Calendars.
The 4-H Make & Take sewing Workshop will be from 9:00-11:00 a.m., March 13, 2010, for youth in grades 5-12; 4-H’ers and non-4-H’ers welcome. Led by Nanette Watson and her sister, who are fantastic sew-ers and who attended the USU Extension Sewing Conference last fall. To learn the basics of sewing, each participant will make a locker caddy (I’m going to use mine as the hanger by the door that holds the items to leave with me, like mail). The locker caddy is a kit which means less cuttingJ
The cost of the class is $7.50 to cover the cost of the caddy kit .
You need to bring your own sewing machine and an adult who knows the machine needs to accompany the youth – no fee for the adult since they will be helping the youth.
Items to bring: Sewing Machine
Zipper foot
Extra machine needles
Scissors
Straight pins
Hand sewing needles
Space is limited to 20 youth so everyone gets attention.
Pre-registration required by Thursday March 11 at 5:00 pm to ensure enough kits are available.
Send an email to 4hsanpete@gmail.com or leave a message at 435.283.7583, with youth name and current grade, along with a phone number.
