On Monday, July 25 the Morgan County Fair Fashion Revue took a trip to the jungle, where various girls competed in Creative and Constructed Clothing categories. Faith Dalrymple, Ziva Zamudio, Evy Lozier and Tenleigh Lorenzini all participated in Creative Clothing. Tenleigh Lorenzini received Grand Champion and Faith Dalrymple took Reserve Grand Champion. Clothing Construction also had four participants: Peighton Arndt, Kimber Heid, Evy Lozier, and Faye Klenda. Grand Champion was Faye Kelnda and Reserve Grand Champion was Peighton Arndt.
Peighton Arndt was wearing a pajama set that she made using a flannel for the pants and cotton for the top. She had to make an elastic casing and sew raglan sleeves. She is excited to finally be allowed to wear her new pajamas to bed and to PJ Day at school! This outfit placed first in the Junior Clothing Construction class and Reserve Grand in the Clothing Construction Division.
This year, Kimber Heid made a ’50s style dress that she can wear to parties and social events. She learned how to alter a pattern to fit her measurements, construct pockets, and construct a full gathered skirt! Kimber finished the outfit with freshwater pearl necklace and earrings that her mom had worn on her wedding day in 2001.
Evy Lozier’s first outfit of the night was a set of blue and white mini pinstripe fabric with pink flamingos embroidered onto them. She paired the pants with a white top. Evy is looking forward to wearing this outfit when school starts in just a couple short weeks. Evy Lozier placed second in the Junior Clothing Construction
class.
The last Clothing Construction participant for the evening was Faye Klenda’s yellow skirt. While this was not the hardest piece that Faye has made so far, it still presented some challenges like learning how to sew a new type of pocket. She plans to wear this skirt to church, banquets, and to dress up an everyday outfit. She
placed first in the Senior Clothing Construction class and Grand Champion in the Clothing Construction division.
Faith Dalrymple was feeling wildly fashionable in her lace-trimmed capris. She found these Capri pants at a thrift shop and added white lace to the bottom of each leg. Then she accented the front and back pockets with the same lace. She paired the pants with a white top and a pair of tennis shoes that she laced with pink
ribbon. Faith took first in the Junior Artistic Clothing class and Reserve Grand Champion in the Artistic Clothing division.
Ziva Zamudio modified a black shirt and a pair of jeans by adding bling and a touch of herself. She added beads to the ripped knees by using fishing line, grommets, and four different types of beads. She added a pearl and bling border to her shirt. Ziva learned a lot creating this outfit and she plans to continue upcycling her clothes in hopes that she will be a fashion designer one day. She placed second in the Junior Artistic Clothing Class.
For Evy Lozier’s second outfit of the night, she showed off her love for giraffes by wearing a pink shirt and jean skirt, each with several giraffes on it. She chose to use different animal patterns on the giraffes to put a different spin on it.
In the Senior Artistic Clothing class, Tenleigh Lorenzini wore a western fashionable outfit. She took a cream colored dress and used it to make a black duster so that she could enhance it with any color shirt and jewelry. Tenleigh also took her jeans that would not fit over her boots and made them flare at the bottom by adding more denim. Tenleigh took first in the Senior Artistic Clothing class and Grand Champion in the Artistic Clothing Division.
Unit Champions were:
Junior Clothing Construction: Peighton Arndt
