CLOTHING Key Leader Contact: Doris Roby, at 614-873-5496
GENERAL GUIDELINES: To complete a 4-H clothing project, youth should complete the learning experiences and achieve the objectives outlined in each project book. All clothing projects include a variety of hands-on, real-life learning experiences which help develop knowledge, skills and understanding about clothing appearance, consumer decision making and construction. Projects are available
for both males and females with all levels of experience. For each beginner, intermediate and advanced project a cost calculation worksheet must be completed. The purpose of this is to help 4-H sewers understand that the true cost of their garment
includes labor and to encourage awareness of clothing costs. There may be differences in costs among participants and the exact cost does not enter into the judging, only knowledge of the process of calculating such a cost.
GUIDELINES FOR MULTIPLE PROJECTS: 4-H’ers who choose to take more than one clothing project are expected to complete separate learning experiences related to each, including selecting and constructing components to create a complete outfit FOR EACH PROJECT. Using items from two or more projects to form one outfit will not be considered as a “completion” of either project.
GUIDELINES FOR REPEATING PROJECTS: Members may repeat any project, but are expected to attempt some feature that offers a new challenge such as doing more advanced construction techniques, using more complicated patterns or harder-to-handle fabrics, etc.
A FEW TIPS FOR CLOTHING PROJECTS
1. For judging, members should wear the total look outfit they plan to wear in the Fashion Revue. Members are judged on the "total look" for all clothing projects.
2. Pre-shrink fabrics, zippers, and tapes before sewing. 3. In making collars, trim under collar slightly smaller than upper collar when cutting out your pattern. This eliminates the under collar showing on the finished product. 4. For cottons or cotton blends, use hem tape or seam binding or turn hem edge under 1/4" and stitch (clean-finished edge) and then hem.
5. Knits do not need hem tape or lace edging. Either pink the edges or zigzag. 6. You may use fusible in your projects, whether it be iron on interfacing or the webbing that fuses the hem or facings. 7. Be sure to use tracing wheel and carbon paper correctly and if appropriate for fabrics.
8. Make sure your garment fits project standards. 9. Tack facings only at seam lines... not all around. 10. Use proper seam finish according to the fabric used.
11. Do all hand sewing with single thread. 12. Garment facings should be under stitched. 13. Be able to talk to the judge about your project... why you chose the pattern, fabric, notions, colors, materials, how you made the garment (construction methods).
14. Proper pressing makes all the difference in the world. 15. S - M - I - L –E
County Pre-Fair Judging Requirements: All participants will take part in the judging and fashion revue indicated for their class. 4-H’ers are expected to bring their completed project books and records to help explain their project accomplishments to the judge, and be dress in the outfit they made or assembled according to the guidelines and information in their project book.
NOTE: Clothing Cost Calculation Sheets and 4-H Fashion Review Narration Forms are to be completed and brought to interview judging.

FOODS AND NUTRITION - Contact Nutrition Key Leader: RoseAnn Harbage at 614-879-5716
ALL participants should bring the following to Pre-Fair Judging:
One prepared food item from project - single serving size. YOUNGER MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE: Recipes must come from your project books. Older members may progress away from project books to some extent. But, they should choose recipes based on the knowledge gained from doing the project recipes and related food experiences. Recipes should use similar
techniques to those in project books. You are responsible for knowing the information in your project book. YOU WILL PREPARE FOR JUDGING:
A COMPLETE DAY'S MENU THAT INCORPORATES THE FOOD. PLEASE PREPARE YOUR MENU NEATLY ON THE FORM INCLUDED WITH YOUR PROJECT BOOK.
A place setting and table cover suitable for the menu for which the food was brought. A centerpiece or other decoration is optional.
A calculation of the cost of the food you brought broken down by food item used. You will figure the cost per serving. The purpose of this is to teach 4-H'ers how to calculate cost per serving and to encourage awareness of food costs. There may be differences in food costs among participants and the exact cost per serving does not enter into the judging,
only knowledge of the process of calculating such cost. The following is an example of how cost per serving can be calculated. 4-H’ers should prepare and bring a similar calculation. A fair market value should be used for items which are home-raised or home-produced, but 4-H'ers may wish to indicate that they did not have to purchase these items from a grocery store. Example of calculating cost per servicing.
The participant will be responsible for bringing a 3 pronged folder that includes 8 ½” x 11” pages. The participant will create a maximum of one page (one-sided only) per “activity
area” or “interest area” as designated in the front of their project books. These pages could be in collage, journaling, timeline, photo, or any other format that would illustrate the work and knowledge of the participant. Each page could be different or could be a combination of styles allowing the 4-Her to reflect on their learning experience. There will be no points for scrapbooking style. My Plate Activity will be used in all foods and nutrition projects based on information received in the book or by visiting www.chosemyplate.gov
Do not bring food items for fair exhibition.
