The 4-H Clothes Line presents easy patterns and instructions for young sewers who want to express their individuality, tap their creativity, build sewing skills, and contribute to a community project. All garments were designed by 4-H members and translated into patterns by an undergraduate student.
As
a student, Denise Green, Human Ecology '07, developed and taught
a unique and powerful curriculum designed to empower youth through
artistic expression. Working with the Ithaca Urban 4-H Outreach
Program of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County,
her program teaches basic sewing skills with an emphasis on independent
thought and creative freedom. This film is part of an outreach
effort to make project ideas and curriculum available to other
educators and volunteers involved in 4-H youth development programs.
