ATTENTION ADVISORS AND PARENTS:

In order to make your job of being a 4-H Advisor and parent easier, this booklet has been compiled specifically to assist in preparing

4-H member’s project work for exhibition. This booklet contains general information concerning project completion requirements and

judging/exhibiting 4-H projects.

Judging is used as a means of measure of the member’s knowledge gained through project work. Opinions and expectations may vary

from year to year depending on the judge’s individual standards. The judge’s decision is final. Only projects that are eligible and

deemed appropriate will be selected to represent Madison County at the State Fair.

Familiarize yourself with State Fair requirements by clicking here.

In regard to project completion, the member should complete at least half (preferably all) of the activities in their project

book. Some projects may be repeated or completed the following year if necessary. It is not necessary for a member to

exhibit in competitive events (i.e. county fair) for project completion. There are suggested age groups for some

projects: Beginner (8-10), Intermediate (11-13), Advanced (14 or older). This is determined by the member’s 4-H age as

of Jan. l. Please be sure membership enrollment cards are filled out correctly.

All members should be prepared to answer questions about their specific project, and any activities discussed in the book:

ACTUAL PROJECT:

Neat, clean, orderly

Materials & supplies suitable & adequate

Construction of item is appropriate for intended use

Member has done suggested activities involved with the project

KNOWLEDGE OF PROJECT

Ideas are well thought out

Member familiar with topic

Member capable of discussing work done in the project

MEMBER'S ATTITUDE

Well groomed & dressed appropriately

Pleasant, responsive attitude

Knowledge of 4-H & attitude

These purposes and guidelines are not "set in concrete" but designed to meet the individual needs of youth. Read them carefully and

share the information. Please refer to the current Ohio 4-H Family Guide for more information on projects, advisor guides and group

projects. Remember, you are the Extension Office's link to the 4-H member. Keep yourself informed so that the members will have a

positive, educational experience through 4-H.

Contact: The Ohio State University Extension office at 740-852-0975, or the appropriate Key Leader for a specific project area, if you

have any questions.

CLOTHING

Key Leader Contact: Daphne Hedgecock, 614-353-0406

GENERAL GUIDELINES: To complete a 4-H clothing project, youth should complete the learning experiences and achieve the

objectives outlined in each project book. All clothing projects include a variety of hands-on,

real-life learning experiences which help develop knowledge, skills and understanding about clothing appearance,

consumer decision making and construction. Projects are available for both males and females with all levels of

experience.

For each beginner, intermediate and advanced project a cost calculation worksheet must be completed. The purpose of this is

to help 4-H sewers understand that the true cost of their garment includes labor and to encourage awareness of clothing costs. There

may be differences in costs among participants and the exact cost does not enter into the judging, only knowledge of the process of

calculating such a cost.

GUIDELINES FOR MULTIPLE PROJECTS: 4-H’ers who choose to take more than one clothing project are expected to complete

separate learning experiences related to each, including selecting and constructing components to create a complete outfit FOR EACH

PROJECT. Using items from two or more projects to form one outfit will not be considered as a “completion” of either project.

GUIDELINES FOR REPEATING PROJECTS: Members may repeat any project, but are expected to attempt some feature that offers

a new challenge such as doing more advanced construction techniques, using more complicated patterns or harder-to-handle fabrics,

etc.

A FEW TIPS FOR CLOTHING PROJECTS

1. For judging, members should wear the total look outfit they plan to wear in the Fashion Revue. Members are judged on the

"total look" for all clothing projects.

2. Pre-shrink fabrics, zippers, and tapes before sewing.

3. In making collars, trim under collar slightly smaller than upper collar when cutting out your pattern. This eliminates

the under collar showing on the finished product.

4. For cottons or cotton blends, use hem tape or seam binding or turn hem edge under 1/4" and stitch (clean-finished edge) and

then hem.

5. Knits do not need hem tape or lace edging. Either pink the edges or zigzag.

6. You may use fusible in your projects, whether it be iron on interfacing or the webbing that fuses the hem or facings.

7. Be sure to use tracing wheel and carbon paper correctly and if appropriate for fabrics.

8. Make sure your garment fits project standards.

9. Tack facings only at seam lines... not all around.

10. Use proper seam finish according to the fabric used.

11. Do all hand sewing with single thread.

12. Garment facings should be under stitched.

13. Be able to talk to the judge about your project... why you chose the pattern, fabric, notions, colors, materials, how you made

the garment (construction methods).

14. Proper pressing makes all the difference in the world.

15. S - M - I - L –E

NOTE: Clothing Cost Calculation Sheets and 4-H Fashion Review Narration Forms are to be completed and brought to

interview judging.

FOODS AND NUTRITION - Contact Nutrition Key Leader: RoseAnnn Harbage at 614-879-5716

ALL participants should bring the following to Pre-Fair Judging:

1. One prepared food item from project - single serving size. YOUNGER MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE: Recipes must come from your

project books. Older members may progress away from project books to some extent. But, they should choose recipes based on the

knowledge gained from doing the project recipes and related food experiences. Recipes should use similar techniques to those in project

books. You are responsible for knowing the information in your project book.

2. YOU WILL PREPARE FOR JUDGING A COMPLETE DAY'S MENU THAT INCORPORATES THE FOOD. PLEASE PREPARE YOUR

MENU NEATLY ON THE FORM INCLUDED WITH YOUR PROJECT BOOK.

3. A place setting and table cover suitable for the menu for which the food was brought. A centerpiece or other decoration is optional.

4. A calculation of the cost of the food you brought broken down by food item used. You will figure the cost per serving. The purpose of

this is to teach 4-H'ers how to calculate cost per serving and to encourage awareness of food costs. There may be differences in food

costs among participants and the exact cost per serving does not enter into the judging, only knowledge of the process of calculating

such cost. The following is an example of how cost per serving can be calculated. 4-H’ers should prepare and bring a similar

calculation. A fair market value should be used for items which are home-raised or home-produced, but 4-H'ers may wish to indicate that

they did not have to purchase these items from a grocery store.

5. The participant will be responsible for bringing a 3 pronged folder that includes 8 ½” x 11” pages. The participant will create a maximum

of one page (one-sided only) per “activity area” or “interest area” as designated in the front of their project books. These pages could be

in collage, journaling, timeline, photo, or any other format that would illustrate the work and knowledge of the participant. Each page

could be different or could be a combination of styles allowing the 4-Her to reflect on their learning experience. There will be no points

for scrapbooking style. My Plate Activity will be used in all foods and nutrition projects based on information received in the book or

by visiting www.chosemyplate.gov

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

½ cup chopped green pepper (½ med. pepper) .15 1 tsp. chili powder seasonings

1 tsp. salt (small quantities of seasonings do not need to be calculated)

Total recipe cost $2.55 $2.55 divided by 6 servings = $0.425 or $0.43 per serving

Tips for Nutrition Projects

Know about the meal you are bringing to judging, and be prepared to answer questions about the information in project book.

Be sure to complete your activities and experiments and be able to tell the judge about them.

Know the Food Pyramid and the amounts needed each day and also know about the five major nutrients and their functions in

the body.

Know about correct table service and why you used the place setting the way you did.

Don't be afraid to try something different. Be creative, but be reasonable for your age and family’s budget.

Your appearance and ability to tell the judge about your project are just as important as the food you prepare.

Be sure and bring only what is required for judging for your project. Extra things don't count.

Include a variety of textures, shapes, size, colors and flavors in the foods in your menus.

Suitable wraps should be used on foods and be sure to store beverages in proper containers.

Relax and smile! You'll learn with each new experience.
