First I showed them the seam ripper which they will use instead of a razor blade. Then the mat which they hung on the walls as they weren't sure how to use it. They would normally cut on the table and not have the grid. Another tool was the round cutter. Their eyes lit up when they realized how it worked. A pair of scissors had a safety latch they didn't know how to open. Just think what they can with all these new sewing tools.
Next stop for me was the open market to purchase fabric. They will make several aprons, shoulder bags and little purses for me to bring home to sell. I can also use these as samples to take orders. The sewing center will be open to men and women throughout the day with Therese teaching as needed.
What a celebration to see opportunities grow at Urukundo Home and Learning Center that reach people in the community!!!
