On October 1, 2005, Threads editor Judy Neukam, associate publisher Angie Termini, and I presented awards to the five winners of this year's "Inspired by Threads" fashion challenge. The finalist garments, all 29 of them, were modeled at a fashion gala at the American Sewing Expo in Novi, Michigan. The winners and the categories for which they won are listed below.
Here's a sneak peek at the Editors' Choice winner; additional details of this ensemble, as well as photos and descriptions of the other winning garments, will be published in a future issue of Threads.
