Show others what you have learned

Exhibits
It is fun to let others see what you have done. Your club may want to plan a display for your families. You may want to exhibit your work at a fair. If you do, your exhibit will be the main article you made. Be sure your article is clean and pressed and clearly labeled so it can be returned to you.
Give a demonstration
A demonstration means “to show someone else how to do something.” Select one small subject for your demonstration. Avoid one that has too many parts or details. Here are some suggestions:
How to sew on a button
How to make a pocket
How to shine your shoes
How to thread a needle
How to thread a sewing machine
How to make a scarf
How to make washcloth slippers
How to make a mitered corner
How to make a hem
How to make gathers
How to make a sash for an apron
How to make a skirt band
How to make a hemmed placket
Because everything you use for sewing is small, you will need to make your samples large. Use contrasting thread, large stitches, and make large buttons so the audience can see what you are doing.
