In a room with light-colored tiled floors and white walls, several women are engaged in textile work. In the foreground, one woman in a black outfit leans over another woman seated on the floor wearing a red headscarf and patterned top; they are surrounded by folded fabric and a measuring tape. In the background, two other women sit at separate sewing machines on a wooden bench, each focused on their work. A white garment hangs on the back of one chair. Along the wall, an ironing board with a blue iron stands beneath hanging tote bags and papers, and a framed piece of art is mounted on the wall. A window with a decorative grille lets in light from the right side of the room.

Facilitated by Mary Gracy

We tested sample bags in canvas cloth for a buyer. We checked shapes, sizes and construction against their requirements. The exercise showed us what we needed to improve before production started.
