popular contest, that has more
than 20.000 young girls sewing
with wool, have been completed,
including the important entry
form. The contest is divided into
junior and senior divisions, with
ages ranging from 14 to 16 for
the juniors and 17 to 21 for
senior entrants.
“■For the first time in the his
tory of the contest,” Miss Swan
son continued, “hand-knit and
hand-crochet fashions will be ad
mitted in the same categories as
the hand-sewn garments—coats,
suits, and dresses.” Adding
hand-knit and hand-crochet is the
result of the upsurge in hand
crafts usage which follows the
$3 billion home-sewing business
of 1970
The contest is conducted on
the district, state and national
levels.
Judging by competent persons
at each level is based on the
girl’s skill in sewing or kmtting
with 100 percent wool loomed,
knitted, felted or spun in
America; in making garments
properly coordinated in color,
design and texture for her own
figure and coloring; in selecting
fashions suitable to her age and
activities; and on modeling the
garments submitted.
Top awards are a Euiopean

winners. Additional finalists’
awards include college scholar
ships, government bonds, sew
ing machines, and other mer
chandise awards.
