A woman in a pink polka-dot shirt sits at a sewing machine, guiding dark fabric under the needle while wearing a watch. Beside her on the floor, another woman in a black top and brown headscarf folds white fabric. In the background, two women sit at separate sewing stations, one in a red and white outfit and another in yellow, both working at machines. Several bags hang on the wall behind them, and large sacks of materials are stacked nearby. A chair stands between the work areas, and a framed picture hangs on the wall.

Facilitated by Mary Gracy

We finished the second batch and started looking at new bag designs and products. We are now focusing on turning fabric scraps into useful items instead of throwing them away. We are experimenting with new ideas and finding practical ways to reduce material waste.
