4-H sewing retreat was a success! Young sewists learned parts of a sewing machine, how to thread the machine, wind a bobbin, and were able to make a chapstick holder and a tote bag. Special shoutout to Homemaker, Cindy Kennedy, for her help at retreat!

We had a great day making baskets with Wendy Tallis from Raintree Studios. Everyone finished their project just in time to fill it with snow day necessities, like chocolate! Like our page to learn more about all the things we do at the Lyon County Extension Office.

• Beginner Garment Sewing February (1, 8, 15, 22), 2026

Join me all four Sundays in February from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM to dig into garment sewing. We will learn how to read and use garment patterns and make a project that you can proudly wear. Spaces are limited for this class. The class is free, but you will need to purchase fabric and there could be pattern fees depending on your choices. To claim your spot in the class, call 270-388-2341. If you have your own sewing machine it is recommended to bring it with you. It is also suggested to bring basic sewing supplies such as thread, scissors, seam ripper, etc.

Every once in a while I get out of the FCS box and have some fun with Lyon County 4-H. What a great day we had visiting Blackhawk Farms and being hosted by the Olivers. Our Teen Leadership Academy students learned about new cattle farming techniques and got some hands on time with the cows. They worked on their group projects and then took a hayride to the pumpkin patch. Great group of young adults!
