A group of women and children are gathered on a tiled floor in a room, sitting in a loose circle around large sheets of light-colored material. One woman in a pink patterned top sits cross-legged on the left, while another in red kneels in the center working on the material. Two women sit on the right, one wearing a black head covering, and two children sit nearby, one holding a blue-lit device. A wooden bench with folded textiles stands against the wall, and bags of fabric are stacked in the corner. A framed picture hangs on the wall above the bench, and a wooden door is visible on the right edge of the frame.

Facilitated by Mary Gracy

In the stitching lab, Mary Gracy worked with six community members. We started stitching our own clothes using materials we already had at home, taking time to fix and finish each part neatly.
