The Fabric and Fashion Design Competition allows 4-H members to demonstrate skills in developing ideas and sketching designs. The three categories are accessory design, apparel design and textile design.

Senior district winners who advance to the state competition will need to accompany their entries to Texas 4-H Roundup. An interview will be part of the contest and 4-H youth must attend Roundup to participate in this interview. The forms and entry information are available from the Extension Family Development and Resource Management office or your county Extension agent. Additional information can be found in the 4-H Clothing Program Annual Packet. Entries are due in the state 4-H office with all other Roundup materials in May. Winning designs will be displayed throughout Roundup.
