SELLERSBURG —
The annual Showcase of Fashions, sponsored by the Clark County Extension Homemakers and Purdue Extension will take place at 2 p.m. Monday at Clark County REMC, 7810 Ind. 60 in Sellersburg.
The contest is for individuals who sew and are interested in competing at the county and state level. The state contest is held in conjunction with the Indiana State Fair which is held in August each year.
The showcase is open to all Clark County residents. Categories include: family outfits; dresses; coat or suit; separates; my choice; sewing for others, adult garments (over 18 years); sewing for others/children’s garments 0-5 years and 6-12 years; sewing for others/teen garments 13-17 years; wedding gowns/bridesmaids/formals; and embroidery embellished handmade garment. The county-only categories include creative touch to ready-wear, wearable art.
The categories are no longer divided by age. However, there is a special county category for seamstresses less than the age of 18. The divisions are nonprofessional and professional seamstresses. Garments modeled must have been made after Sept. 1, 2009.
