This year, we have a design challenge that six women are participating in. Here is the challenge as sent to the following women, so please plan on attending and seeing what these women come up with. Vote on your favorite outfits and we will have a “Sewer's Choice Award”. The outfits will be presented Saturday, October 16, 2010 from 6-7 pm at theDoubletree hotel. Specific location will be posted Saturday at the expo. There is no charge to attend, but CHOCOLATES from See's candy's will be served.

You are flying on a commercial airline to the wedding and only one carry-on bag allowed so all outfits must fit into the one carry-on bag. You will need three outfits and no one outfit can be repeated. These are the three events that you have been invited to attend.
