As The Sewing Studio's first-ever, month-long holiday charity event, the Six-Hour Sweatshop, comes to an end participants, media and friends are invited to stop by the studio to join the instructors for holiday cheer (that means treats!), and to sew or purchase hand-crafted gifts for three very deserving charities. On Sunday, December 16th, 2007 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., see familiar faces and donate your time and creative spirit to those in need. Everyone who stops by has a chance to win some great prizes, including a one-year subscription to FASHION Magazine, a free Feature Workshop and a free full-length course at the studio!

Participants in the Six-Hour Sweatshop have been hard at work on embellished scarves for The Assaulted Women's Helpline (http://www.awhl.org/), a tote bag for children in Africa, being sent through Fundamentalz Project P.L.A.Y. (http://www.fundamentalz.ca/) and a children's plush toy for kids with Down Syndrome at the Quinte Health Care centre (http://www.qhc.on.ca/).

Start the holidays off right with an afternoon of giving. See you at The Sewing Studio.
