State Categories (Alameda County 4-H is NOT participating in these since we do not have any Clothing & Textiles Projects this year)
Traditional
Participants in this category will construct a garment/s and assemble an outfit that showcases their sewing skills and ability to coordinate an outfit. The outfit must contain at least one constructed garment. Participants are encouraged to construct additional garments to complete the outfit but may wear clothing they purchased or already own. Accessories - such as shoes, hats, belts, jewelry, purses, backpacks, etc., - may be purchased, already owned, or made by the member. If items were sewn that cannot be worn - such as in a coordinating jacket, skirt, and pants set or in a pajama set with matching pillow or quilt - these additional items may be carried. Only garments sewn by the participant will be evaluated on construction, but all items worn will be evaluated on the outfit coordination.
The garment/s in this category must be sewn by the member as part of a 4-H Clothing & Textiles Project* and modeled by the member at the Fashion Revue event.
Uniquely Upcycled
In the context of fashion, upcycling involves repurposing old clothing or textiles to create new and unique garments. This can include combining different pieces of a garment or other materials to create a fresh look. You can alter the items through sewing, embellishing, painting, dyeing, etc. An example would be combining sleeves from one garment to the bodice of another item to create your own, unique garment.
The garment/s in this category must be sewn by the member as part of a 4-H Clothing & Textiles Project* and modeled by the member at the Fashion Revue event.
Favorite Decade Challenge
Participants in this challenge will create an outfit that is inspired by your favorite decade. The entry must state the year or period of the design and include a drawing, photo, or description of the classic design that is being reproduced or duplicated. Add accessories to complete the outfit that are reminiscent of that time period. The outfit must feature at least one handmade garment made by the member. Other pieces of the outfit must be representational and recognizable as belonging to the same era as the handmade
