Cindy's son, Trevor
In August, we co-hosted a crafting event, during which we offered a charity raffle for the attendees. They could win private tutorials on a variety of topics from basic sewing to photography to quilting. Our C&T staff experts are each volunteering 2 hours of their time to teach the winners a new skill.
The first winner to redeem her prize was Cindy deRosier—she won a basic sewing lesson from our Creative Director, Gailen Runge. The timing was perfect, as Cindy wanted to make this adorable crayon costume for her son to wear on Halloween.
Gailen loved Cindy’s confidence. “Cindy was not afraid to try something new. It was exciting for me to see her just jump right in! She got to know her sewing machine better, and now that she has the basics down, she can stitch up anything she wants!”

Cindy emailed us shortly after her sewing lesson. “I learned so much and am thrilled with how much we got accomplished. Since our lesson a little over a week ago, I’ve shortened two more shirts and hemmed three pairs of pants! It feels so good to finally know what I’m doing.” Way to go, Cindy!!

Gailen donated the raffle funds collected for her tutorial to her local charity of choice, The Dunakin Children’s Family Trust, set up to assist the children of slain police officer Mark Dunakin.
We will keep y’all posted on the other winners as they redeem their raffle prizes, too!
