Six women are seated together in a room, arranged in a row facing slightly toward one another. Five of the women wear headscarves, while one has her hair pulled back. They are dressed in patterned and solid-colored traditional garments in shades of red, pink, white, and cream. One woman rests her chin on her hand, another sits with her arms crossed, and the others have their hands in their laps or resting on their legs. Behind them, a table holds metal containers, and clothing hangs on hooks on the wall. A whiteboard is mounted on the wall, and a doorway with a window is visible in the background. A glass-topped table in the foreground reflects the women sitting above it.

Stitching team plans how to share production work

Facilitated by Mary Gracy

Shabana met with the stitching team to go over the new designs and current orders. Members also shared the problems they had with different tasks. The main challenge was managing time and co-ordinating duties at once. We divided responsibilities across the team, from sorting cut pieces to stitching the final products, including ironing fabric.
