Regional Fashion Revue

Last Tuesday night was the 4-H Southeast Regional Fashion Revue.  Because Liana and I won at County, we got to go onto Regionals.  After Regionals is the State Fashion Revue, but only seniors can go onto State competition.  The Regional Revue this year consisted of 69 girls all from seven different counties.  Our county sent seven seniors and seven juniors to Regionals.  Liana was one of the eight winners in the Junior division! =) 
 We were all very happy for her. 

At Regionals, the girls spend all day at the place.  We do modeling practice, a sewing craft, and a community service project while we are not being judged.  This year, we made blankets for kids in a hospital.  While doing the community service projects, one by one we get called into another room to be judged.  So, by the end of the day I was EXHAUSTED!  
 It was really fun to watch the other girls model and it was amazing to see what they sewed!  Here are some pics.

Southeast Regional Fashion Show by Liana

The 4-H Southeast Regional Fashion Show was so much fun!
We made tiny purses, we made blankets for sick children, we practiced modeling for the fashion show, and we all got judged. There were eight girls able to win in the junior  category and ten girls able to win in the senior category. I wasn't expecting to win so I got all comfortable in my chair as the names were called. Then I heard the announcer say my name. I was stunned! My dad said he knew I would win. It was a FUN night!

Our Latest Bags


Arielle made this to complement her 4-H dress she is entering for competition.  The cotton bag is big and roomy, fully lined with bound seams, and has a nice comfortable shoulder strap and zipper on the top.  If you desired to make this, the fabric and color combinations are endless.  I liked it so much I made one for myself. 

My purse has a seashell print outside and a different one inside.  The girls helped me choose the coordinating colors.  I added a cell phone pocket to the front.  This has been a handy bag I seem to take everywhere.  It is the perfect size and I love the summery prints.  ***Deb

County Fashion Show

Here are the Junior winners



Here are the Senior Winners





Notice all the purple dresses?  We didn't plan it that way.  It was really cool because all four of us had purple fabric, but we all had different shades of purple! ☺

I'll put up more pics later, but for now I have to sew! ☺  I started sewing a summer shirt.  I will write more about that later.
