SFR 2017 ~ Categories & Service Projects
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. Addi-
tional 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. Addition-
al 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 al-
teration 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 2017 -
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 Hon-
or. 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 distribut-
ed 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 Cloth-
ing & 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 fab-
ric. Some woven fabrics contain spandex threads
which make them stretchy so they are more com-
fortable but they are still woven fabrics. This Chal-
lenge is for a knit fabric, not woven. See the pic-
tures 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. (New for
2017)
Traditional This category features garments the participant has
constructed, showcasing sewing skills and the abil-
ity to coordinate an outfit. The entry must be sewn
by the member as part of the 4-H Clothing and Tex-
tiles project, and worn by the member (not con-
structed for someone else). The outfit must contain
at least one constructed garment; participants are
encouraged to construct additional garments to
complete the outfit.
Consumer Science Purchased $40 limit The $40.00 limit is for the entire outfit, including
shoes but not sales tax. Receipts from the current
4-H year are required for any item that is visible.
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 require-
ment, which means any 4-H member may enter
this category.
For all Entries All outfits must meet the 4-H Dress Guidelines,
http://4h.ucanr.edu/files/210170.pdf. 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.

demonstration was also given by Dr. Candy Rapp, DVM on how to properly
give a shot in the neck. Every attendee gave a presentation on a particular
subject that 3 different groups worked on, they were; by-products, cuts of
meat and cattle breeding facts. Hands on showmanship practice was also

your club/project. See fundraising form http://4h.ucanr.edu/files/19878.pdf once filled out send to [email protected] or bring to the 4-H office 530-621-5503.
