Community led stitching club at aikyam space, Fort Kochi. Learn repair, upcycling, bag-making from cut pieces, and screen printing. 4 levels — from fixing clothes to earning. Daily 2-6 PM (except Mondays).
A free stitching club, facilitated by Mary Gracy, runs daily from 2 to 6 pm except Mondays, in Malayalam, with all tools and equipment provided. Seats are limited, with preference to low income and underserved households from Fort Kochi, Mattancherry and nearby. It runs across four levels: repair, upcycling boutique offcuts into bags and pouches, earning 2K–5K a month from what you make, and setting up your own club.
