2008 4-H Summer Sewing Workshop

Participants of the 2008 Rapides Parish 4-H Sewing Workshop Ophelia Allen, 4-H agent, observes as Hannah Munsen prepares to instruct 4-H'ers on the use of the sewing machine. Hannah, teen leader, gives a demonstration on the parts of the serger and the sewing machine. "It's a family affair." Susan Hall, adult leader (seated) lends a hand in the 4-H Sewing Workshop with children Elizabeth and Charlie. Sandra Munsen, adult volunteer, instructs a 4-H'er at the Sewing Workshop.

A 4-H'er puts the finishing touches on the purse she constructed at the 4-H Sewing Workshop. 4-H'ers concentrate while participating in the 4-H Sewing Workshop. Tammy Lloid, adult leader, provides instructions to 4-H'ers at the sewing workshop. Boys enjoy learning to sew at the workshop, too. A 4-H'er models one the "adult bibs" constructed as a community service project to be donated to nursing home residents.
