Presenters walked the runway and showed off outfits that received appreciative applause from guests inside a crowded HomeFront community area room.

SewingSpace clients learn to sew and construct usable and sellable items, such as tote bags, handbags, pillows, holiday ornaments, and to learn techniques of re-upholstery.
Ruthann Traylor, director of Art Space/Sewing Space, and Medarda “Josita” Cardona, an integral sewing instructor, said both initiatives offer inspiration and life-changing opportunities to participants.
