Here is my older daughter's outfit that she decorated for the "Decorate Your Dud's" 4-H project...needle felted flowers, Japanese kanzashi style folded fabric flower butterflies, and a crochet shell edging.
She learned a lot, had a lot of fun...and I enjoyed helping her to learn all of these new skills. It is very rewarding to teach my child the same kind of skills that were passed down to me by my Grandmother and Mother...
She has 6 projects this year, these two I have shown here as well as cake decorating, yeast batter breads, foods and nutrition unit 2 (muffins), and a GIS (Geospacial Information Systems) project. The morning will be filled with baking and cake decorating, everything else is done...
Today, we had Fashion Review practice, tomorrow at 4pm is the Fashion Review judging and the public showing at 7pm and then Tuesday is Interview Judging starting at 8:30am and by mid afternoon that day all of her projects will be complete for the year...unless they go on to the Colorado State Fair in August.
Wish her luck...
Until the Fashion Review results are in,
Julie
Blue ribbon for sure! You are so lucky to be able to pass on those skills you learned from your grandmother and mother - and your daughter(s) are so lucky to learn them :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to your daughter on all of her projects!
