Gifts, prior purchases, and items without receipts are not eligible. Receipts from yard sales, etc. may be hand written. There is no 4-H project requirement, which means any 4-H member may enter this category. For all Entries All outfits must meet the 4-H Dress Guidelines, For State Fashion Revue, all shorts, skirts, dresses, etc. must be at least fingertip length due to the fashion show raised stage. All outfits entered in SFR must be suitable for comfortably walking, sitting, and going up and down stairs because of the SFR schedule and location. County Fashion Revue coordinators will review all outfits based on these guidelines before SFR entry, with further review by the SFR Committee if needed. Upcycled Take one or more existing garments and turn them into a new, different, and wearable garment. Add an accessory handmade made by the participant. Additional fabrics, trim and supplies may be used. The upcycled garment must be sewn by the member as part of the 4-H Clothing & Textiles project. Additional upcycled and/or sewn garments are encouraged to complete the outfit. A before photograph showing the original garment(s) is required. This is not an alteration such as a large dress taken in to fit a smaller person that still retains the same lines. It is where the garment has been cut apart and remade into a new garment that looks different. The emphasis is on the transition of the garment. SFR Service Projects SFR is coordinating two service projects for Cancer Heart Pillows and quilt squares for Quilts of Honor. They can be sewn at home, at project meetings and at county events. Get together with your friends and learn more about the American Cancer Society, cancer hospitals, and Quilts of Honor. See the flyers on the SFR website for patterns, directions, how to donate, and who to contact with questions. The Cancer Heart Pillows can be distributed to cancer organizations and hospitals in local communities or brought to SFR. The quilt squares and quilt tops are brought to SFR where they will be sorted by pattern then given to the Quilts of Honor volunteers to finish the quilts. They are presented to veterans during honor ceremonies. Your thoughtful donations will touch the lives of many! Stripe/Print/Plaid Challenge Choose any 2 of the 3 fabric designs (stripe, print, and plaid) and incorporate them into one or more sewn garments. If one garment is sewn, it must include 2 of the 3 choices. If multiple garments are sewn, the 2 choices can be in one garment, more than one garment, or one garment each. The addition of other fabric is allowed (ex: solids, other prints/stripes/plaids, etc.). Polka dots are a print. Consider construction techniques for stripes and plaids, the placement of prints, harmonious combination of fabrics and current style trends. Include handmade or purchased garments and items to complete the outfit. The entry must be created by the member as part of the 4-H Clothing & Textiles project. (New for 2017) Knit Challenge Construct a wearable garment out of knit fabric. Any fabric content is allowed (cotton, polyester, wool, rayon, blend, etc.) and any type of knit (single knit, double knit, rib knit). This is not a hand-knit garment; it is a garment that is sewn, serged, or otherwise constructed using a knit fabric. Some woven fabrics contain spandex threads which make them stretchy so they are more comfortable but they are still woven fabrics. This Challenge is for a knit fabric, not woven. See the pictures on the SFR website to help identify a knit fabric. Include handmade or purchased garments and items to complete the outfit. Open to all 4-H members with no project requirement.
