A wide variety of community service activities is available to 4-H members interested in fashion and interior design. Participant time commitments will vary based on the individuals’ interests and level of involvement. The Fashion and Interior Design project allows youth the opportunity to make a style of their own, be creative in sewing and designing and develop good consumer skills.
