Do you have to start with beginner?
For example: Sew Wonderful.
I already have a sewing basket with everything in it, and I can already sew the seams by hand and machine, but would love to sew a Bakeover Takealong. But that's the Expert badge already.
And we can't submit things we already have right?
There's so many I've already done or am doing (like compost, etc.). So where do you join in if you're already doing it? Just the things you've never done before at beginner level?

The idea is to start from beginner and work your way up, so you could maybe make a new sewing basket to give to a friend or to barter here on the forum, you could also sew something to show you know the seams etc-
If you already compost- have you tried worm farming? Most of the badges have several suggestions or criteria per level, so if you already do one, perhaps you could explore the other. Or if you are already a master at that particular badge- for example we use green cleaners- teach someone how to do the badge.
I hope that helps?

Thanks. That's quite a help. There are a few I can't do here even if I'd like to - our desert compost bins still can't sustain worms in our climate, and we're not allowed animals on the property - I really want goats!
But your advice gives me a lot of ideas of how to help or give to others and I really like that. Thanks again!

I bet if there are some badges where you are routinely doing the lower levels and are ready to take it to the next step and honestly can't think of a way to do the beginner level requirements (say the whole community is composting) then you could always submit your badge application with an explanation of why you skipped the first two. Or perhaps one way you could get the word out is by making a nice tutorial on your blog?

Allison,
On the things that you already know how to do, maybe you could submit what you do, and how you so it and what you ahve learned in the process as so many ready them to learn what to do and how to do it...... Good Luck!

You mean submit it as a merit badge application? Do folks read those somewhere?
Or just post i the forums, like tutorials?
I'm not sure I understand what you meant by that. Thanks!
Loved your Farmgirl U video BTW!

how long does it take to get your badge once you submit your finished project?

They will usually email you within a few days. With the exception of the sisterhood badge, all other merit badges are emailed to you for you to print onto tranfer paper or fabric paper.
