Our newly prepared training center is fully equipped with everything needed to begin your journey in sewing — from professional-grade machines and tools to fabrics and materials. This program is more than just training; it’s a safe, supportive space where you’ll learn valuable skills, build friendships, and gain confidence.

Whether you are brand new to sewing or want to enhance what you already know, our hands-on approach will help you grow. Participants will learn the basics of sewing, clothing construction, pattern work, and how to care for and use sewing tools properly. There may also be future opportunities for showcasing your work or participating in social enterprise projects.

Limited spots available – only 20 spaces open for the first group!
