- STEAM 1 Pattern Possiblities (PDF) - This is an extensive list of patterns that 4-Her’s can use for STEAM 1 (formerly Clothing Level 1) projects this year. They are by no means the only ones they can use, but any pattern used needs to stay within these guidelines: Exhibits must be made from medium weight woven fabrics that will sew and press smoothly, flannel/ fleece is acceptable. Solid color fabrics or those having an overall print are acceptable. NO PLAIDS, STRIPES, NAPPED or JERSEY KNIT. Patterns should be simple without darts, set-in sleeves, and collars. Raglan and kimono sleeves are acceptable.
