Sew and serve

When Cumberland District 4-H'ers gathered for Fashion Rave Camp, they learned about sewing, clothes, make-up, and more. Then they put their knowledge to work through a service learning project to benefit the Battered Women's Crisis Center in Cumberland County. They provided gift bags filled with personal toiletry items, and they made stuffed animals for the children at the shelter. For reflection, they made a memory board with pictures and thoughts from the 4-H'ers, which they included with the gift to the shelter. One 4-H'er commented, "These service projects I really liked doing. I learned how to sew, what a bobbin is, and what a zigzag stitch is. I think that the women and children will really love their presents."
