Programming:
For our August meeting, Amy Ortega put together a fantastic presentation showcasing many of our sewing spaces, with help from Donna Moscinski. Thank you to everyone who uploaded photos of your sewing space set ups, fabric storage solutions, pressing and cutting stations, and more! It was inspiring to see so many different and distinctive creative spaces.
You can check out the entire slideshow with the speaker notes here.
We also hosted a pouch swap with dozens of participants!
