Make it with Wool

Make it with Wool is a contest to highlight the versatility and beauty of wool. Each state has a contest and the first place winner of the junior and senior category advances to nationals. Nationals are held each year at the American Sheep Industry Conference. The garment must be made out of wool fabric that is at least 60% wool. The person who constructed it must also model the outfit. Make it with Wool also has a contest for aspiring designers. To see if your state has a contest check out the Make it with Wool website. www.makeitwithwool.com
Recently I competed in the Kentucky Make it with Wool Contest. As I stood on stage as the winners were called out I though to myself have learned a lot of different techniques by constructing my coat and dress". Although my name was not called as a winner I still won. I gained a number of new skills and learned how to make an garment fit my figure better.
