The clothing and textiles project allows youth the opportunity to make a style of their own, be creative in sewing and designing, use basic sewing skills, develop good consumer skills when making and purchasing clothes, and serve the community by using skills learned in this project. Members who participate in the Clothing and Textiles project can compete in the following contests and events during the 4-H year:

Fashion Show: Members get to show off an outfit they have either purchased or constructed.

Fashion Storyboard: The Fashion Storyboard is an industry-inspired method of displaying original designs. The best storyboards create vivid visual images that “tell the story” of the designer’s idea.

Duds to Dazzle: Teams of 4-H members create a brand new garment from a recycled clothing item provided to all teams.

Textile Show: Participants may enter the Textile Show by constructing any item from fabric or textile material (ex: crochet, needlework).

Trashion Show:  The 4-H Trashion Show provides an opportunity for 4-H members to use their design skills to create and exhibit a recycled/reused garment created from items that would otherwise be thrown in the trash.
