The Morgan County Fair Fashion Revue had a Fashion Premier, where various youth competed in Creative and Constructed Clothing categories. Evy Lozier and Elizabeth Whitney both participated in Constructed Clothing. Evy Lozier received Grand Champion and Elizabeth
Whitney took Reserve Grand Champion. Kimber Heid, Kaitlyn Kral, Madison Kral, and Evy Lozier all participated in Creative Clothing where Kimber Heid was selected for Grand Champion and Madison Kral was Reserve Grand Champion.
Evy Lozier opened up the evening by taking us back to the good ole days. She wore a
sunflower smock style cover up pattern from 1977 with tie closures on the sides. The fabrics she used this year were 100% gauze sunflower fabric and 100% cotton denim. Evy was Champion of the Junior Constructed Clothing class and overall Constructed Clothing Grand Champion.
Elizabeth Whitney was the second participant to show off her outfit. For her Heritage Arts project, she chose a skirt pattern called the Coquelicot because she really liked the 10 inch pockets and the adjustable waistband. She wove the fabric on a rigid heddle loom and used the Paton’s Classic Wool in colors winter white and natural gray. Elizabeth received Champion in the Senior Constructed Clothing class and overall Reserve Grand Champion for Constructed Clothing.
Kimber Heid opened up the Creative Clothing portion of the evening in her anime jacket. She
upcycled a jacket by dying it purple and then drawing an anime character on the back. By doing this, she was able to incorporate her love of the Visual Arts project. She learned how to make her painting proportionally fit on her jacket. Kimber was the Senior Creative Clothing Champion and the overall Creative Clothing Grand Champion.
Next up was Kaitlyn Kral who showed off her upcycled denim jacket and shorts combo. Her love
of dogs inspired her jacket, which had iron on paw prints on the collar and dog face on the pocket. She also ironed on a paw print to her shorts to tie the outfit together. In addition, she tie-dyed a t-shirt to wear under the jacket in case the weather is warm. Kaitlyn was Reserve Champion in the Junior Constructed Clothing class.
Madison Kral upcycled her outfit using gymnastics themed iron-ons on the pocket of her denim
jacket, the front of her shorts, and on her tie-dyed shirt. Her shirt also had iron-ons of a rainbow and the quote “Just a girl who loves gymnastics.” Finding all of these gymnastics themed iron-ons was worth the challenge because she can now show off her love for the sport. Madison was the Junior Creative Clothing Champion and the overall Creative Clothing Reserve Grand Champion.
The final outfit of the evening was Evy Lozier’s Star themed denim vest paired with pink pants.
She chose to cut out different sized stars out of old lace shirts and sew them in layers onto the back and front yoke of the vest. Many of the shirts she used were her great grandmothers and she sewed them with her grandma. She is going to love wearing this new outfit at school in the fall!

Cloverbud 4-H Members showed decorated t-shirts that they made at a workshop earlier in
July. This year they decorated their t-shirts by drawing on the shirt in permanent marker, then using rubbing alcohol to make the colors bleed. They also made fun shaped glasses to hold during the program and Hollywood Walk of Fame stars to decorate the stage. Cloverbuds that participated were Anthony Lookingbill, Joe Lookingbill, Lincoln Lozier, and Anna Walter.
The emcee for the evening was Cora Leora. Fashion Revue Superintendents making the show
a success were Kathy Wood, Cora Leora and Jennifer Rhode. Dana Hanson also assists with securing the location and running sound through the contest.
