We’ve been awful quiet on the blog for a long while, partly because of the 4H fair craziness, and partly because we just let life get in the way.
But at any rate, I’m going to try to do a picture (or two, or three!) a day next week during the fair, as well as the three days of judging this week.
That way you can kind of ‘come along’ with us to the fair 😉
Today they are judging the sewing projects, and this is Anna’s project. She came up with the idea, and between her and Leah, they made up a pattern and Anna sewed it up. There was a little trial and tribulation trying to figure out how to add the chiffon skirt, and sewing the slippery stuff, but she came out triumphant with new skills, and a pretty dress 🙂
These pictures are from a photoshoot she and Leah did at the park yesterday…
We’ve never done fashion review…just because we never have 😀 But this year the judge and a few other people convinced Anna, Bekah, and Noah to do it 😀
We normally only compete in the construction part, where the judge goes over your seams and stitches and looks at how well you’ve made it. In fashion review, you get to wear and model your outfit, and it is judged on how well it looks on you.
Noah, exhibiting his apron that he sewed.
Bekah, modeling her jumper and blouse. She made up the jumper pattern by the way…isn’t she good?!
The senior division of fashion review 🙂 🙂
They had tons of fun, and I hear they’re planning on doing Fashion Review from now on 😀
I’ll be back tomorrow with another picture (or five!) 😉

Very well done! Thank you for the snippets of “behind the scenes” that show all of the hard work you have done!
Oh. My. I LOOOVE Anna’s dress! 🙂 Great job!
😀 WOWOW! I love Anna’s dress! Y’all should totally perfect and sell those dresses along with your jumpers 🙂 It’s very elegant!
YES!! I would SO buy the pink one!
I LOVE the first and second pictures of Anna’s pink skirt! So beautiful! You guys are amazing seamstresses!! ~Sarah
Anna’s skirt/dress is amazing! Love it love it love it!
Beautiful dress Anna! I want it, but you probably already knew that. ;D I love the other things too. What did you guys get on them? You neglected to tell us that. LOL.
Lol! I’m not even sure I know exactly what they got! I think they’ve all received blue ribbons on everything, and a few blue honors. We’ll know about Grand and Reserve Champions on Sunday, I think! They like to keep that part a surprise 😀

I am sure at least one of you will! I wish my Leather teacher hadn’t retired in Marshall. I was getting really close. 😀
Anna’s project = that dress is gorgeous!!
I could see myself wearing it to a business function for my husband. Classy and modest. SO hard to find gowns and dresses like that!
Wow, Anna’s skirt is so, so pretty!
