Bells were jingling and sewing machines were humming as 17 generous volunteers came into the Sewnow studio to sew and embellish stockings for Youth Homes during two free sewing workshops in November. Sewnow provided instructors, pre-cut stocking kits, felt appliques, buttons, and heat set crystals, as well as a custom monogram for each stocking cuff. Finished designs were entered into a design contest, and the community was invited to vote on Facebook and in the studio for their favorite design. After a flurry of voting and tallying over 100 votes, number 14 was declared the winner and the designer, Mary Bridget Gallagher, was presented with a $75 Sewnow gift card. The stockings will be presented to the young adults who are part of Youth Homes Aftercare program at a Christmas party Dec. 19.
