Theme: “TOGETHERNESS: A Celebration of Resilience, Sustainable Creativity and Community Spirit”
We gathered for an unforgettable day of creativity, connection and celebration, and we couldn’t have asked for a better community to share it with. This was more than just a sewing workshop. It was a safe and joyful space where emotions, stories and imagination were stitched together to create beautiful wall hangings and shared memories.
