4-H girl giving sewing demonstration

A 4-H club girl poses for the camera in this black and white photograph taken in the early 1940s. She is giving a sewing demonstration using a portable Singer sewing machine that is on top of a table. She is wearing a blouse with a 4-H emblem on it. As she feeds fabric through the machine with her left hand, her right hand is operating the drive wheel. A pair of scissors and a pin cushion sit on the table to the left of the machine.
