4-H Clothing & Textiles

Clothing and Textiles

Appearances do make a difference! When people look their best, they feel confident and do their best. You can help kids look great and feel great by teaching them the essentials of personal appearance; the importance of body image, clothing designs, fabric facts, how to build a wardrobe and be a smart buyer. You don’t have to know how to sew to be involved in the 4-H clothing and textiles projects!

Online Resources

  • Sew, Read!
    This textiles-based learning curriculum encourages reading and literacy skills using simple textile construction activities.

Learning Materials

More learning materials available to support these activities can be found through the MSU Bulletin Office.
