Sew Sweet: Sewing’s Next Generation
This is a Fashion and Trunk Show where today's young sewers (ages 9 - 18) can show off their projects and share the fun of sewing and quilting with a live audience. Get an insight into the interests and talents of our newest sewing enthusiasts as they show off their latest accomplishments. Whether it hangs in the closet, hangs on a wall or hangs out on beds and sofas, the creativity involved will inspire audiences of all ages.

There will be first, second and third-place winners in each of two age groups: 9-13 and 14-18. Everyone who participates will get gifts from Original Sewing & Quilt Expo.
If you sew or quilt and are between the ages of 9 and 18, you are invited to model or display a project in the show on Saturday at 3:15pm. Here’s what you should do to get involved, or to help a young sewer (or group of young sewers) get involved:
- Open and print the Entry Form and Rules* (PDF format) and decide which one of your projects or outfits you would like to show off! Begin by filling out Form #1, the Participant Form. If you’re under 18, have your parent or guardian review and sign Form #2, the Rules Form.
- Return both of these forms by regular mail or fax to our offices (see PDF for details) at your earliest convenience. We can accommodate just 50 entrants; so don’t wait until the last minute!
- Each participant and accompanying adult will receive FREE General Admission passes for their day at Original Sewing & Quilt Expo. Please arrive with your project at the Registration Area no later than 10:00 AM on Saturday, as judging starts at 11:00 AM. Expo staff will be there to receive your project and help you get started on your day at the Expo.
