Three women are gathered around sewing machines in a room. One woman stands at the left machine, wearing a blue top and an orange lower garment, guiding fabric through the machine. Another woman sits at the middle machine, wearing a patterned green and white top, with her back to the camera. A third woman sits at the right machine, wearing a light blue top and a brown head covering, also working at a sewing machine. A long wooden bench sits in front of them, holding papers and a phone. To the right, a tall wooden shelving unit holds folded fabrics and other items. In the background, a doorway leads to another room with a green sofa.

A zipper's stitch line kept showing on the outside

Facilitated by Mary Gracy

The stitching team kept working on the new bag design and tried to attach the zipper neatly. The stitching line became visible on the outside of the bag, which affected the final look. The team discussed different methods and shared ideas to achieve a cleaner finish without weakening the bag.
