Sewing Careers for the Blind

Season 10 Episode 1013

On this episode of Fit 2 Stitch, we travel to Envision Dallas, where people who are blind or visually impaired are taught to sew. We all want a job that’s more than just a way to make money; a job that makes a difference. At Envision, while sewing articles for the US military, workers develop a sense of independence and accomplishment.
