Sewing Project
In our sewing class in Afghanistan, young women have been learning the tailoring craft for several months: three hours of sewing lessons every day, followed by alternating math and English classes. For us, sewing and learning belong together.
The participants tell us about more hope, new goals, and more meaning in their lives – and you can see their work here: beautiful traditional dresses and velvet jackets.
By buying a piece, you support the sewing project directly. Every piece is one of a kind. Order without obligation by email – we will get back to you with details about size, price, and shipping.
