Sew Much Love is an arts-based social enterprise for homeless and vulnerable women in Memphis and Shelby County. The women collaborate with practicing artists and each other to transform raw materials into marketable handcrafted artworks that provide them with transitional income. True to its tagline-Sew Love, Make Art, Build Community-the women are a community of artists who are not defined or overshadowed by their circumstances but united in a creative sphere.
