State Fashion Revue is not just about fashion. It is so much more! State Fashion Revue provides many opportunities for participants to learn. Before you even compete, you learn how to choose a flattering style for your body type and the appropriate fabric, to complete the garment, or learn how to shop with a budget. You learn how to present yourself and exhibit your project. You develop your interview skills and practice your public speaking expertise. You can also test your sewing knowledge in the Skillathon competition. The service projects give you outlets to practice sewing to benefit others. The opportunities are endless!!
The patterns for the service projects – adult bibs and personal care kits, are on the website, as well as the descriptions for the five categories.
