Sheep Day at Black Hills Stock Show,

Monday, January 30, 2023

Ida Marie Snorteland, Districts 1 and 2 Make it with Wool Director, will be at the Black Hills Stock Show with information about the National Make It with Wool Contest. The SD District 1 & 2 contest which will be held September 21 during the Newell Ram Sale, followed by the State contest on September 23, 2023 at the Holiday Inn in Rapid City. Dates for other District contests will be posted on the SD SheepGrowers website at: www.sdsheepgrowers.org.

Come to the Black Hills Stock Show on Sheep Day and learn about the variety of wool fabrics, including flannel, crepe, Melton and so many more. Beautiful garments made from wool fabric will also be on display.

Demonstrations on the use of specialty tailoring tools will be on-going at the MIWW booth:

DRESSMAKER/TAILOR

Think of the pressing ham as a curved ironing board. Use to build shape into darts, princess seams, set-in sleeves, or any other curved areas.

SEAM ROLL

The seam roll allows you to press seams open without pressing the impression of the seam allowance onto the right side of the fabric. It's also great inside sleeves and pant legs.

These tools make pressing faster AND easier! That means more fun sewing with better results! Thanks to the Treadle Yard Goods.
