Constitution tote production with Kantha stitch refinement

Facilitated by Shabana K H

The sewing room ran at full speed to fill a 50-unit order for Constitution-themed tote bags. The bags measure 17.5 inches by 16 inches. We cut precise patterns. Then we prepared the printing and sewed the bags. While we made the bulk order, we set aside time to refine our Kantha stitching. We tested new adjustments in real time. Deadline work and craft experiments ran together. Output stayed steady. Our technique kept improving.
