Smoky Mountain 4-H Club Sewing Workshop

Volunteer Leader Debby Morgan and Teen Leader Gracie Tindell recently led a sewing workshop for Smoky Mountain 4-H Club members to make holiday-themed table runners. The students learned sewing machines skills and new techniques as they coordinated a variety of remnant fabrics into a table runner.
One new technique was how to use Wonder Under and turn any fabric into a fusible fabric. Participants fused Christmas trees and bows onto their table runners to give it added decoration.
