North Central District Fashion Revue
It’s your time to show off your sewing skills!
The North Central District is hosting their Fashion Revue and they want YOU to be a part of it!
It’s never been easier to be a part of this show either. You have the opportunity to sew something you can wear like a shirt, dress, pants, etc. You even get to walk a runway to show off your sewing skills at District Activity Day! Or you can make a pillow, handbag, stuffed toy, or hand sewn item in the Small Sewn Item Competition. And if your sewn item doesn’t fit into any of those categories, they even have a Miscellaneous Sewn item category to fit in those other fun sewn items. Those items will be displayed at District Activity Day.
4-H’ers have the chance to win prizes and ribbons for their efforts in this show! All entries are due by May 23rd at 5:00 PM to the Randolph County Extension office, so make sure to mark your calendar! Contactus to learn more: 336-318-6000.
* If you plan to be in the Wearable Fashion Revue, make sure to mark your calendars also for an interview on (TBA) and to model your garment at District Activity Day at A&T University on June 21st.*
