Having worked for two weeks on our bag we learned a lot along the way about proper sewing technique as well as problem solving when things didn't go our way. We got through our setbacks and ended up with two great final products that, with a little refining, could definitely be applicable to the developing world. These recycled products are also great for eco-conscious consumers who are looking for something different in their fashion. We were able to go from zero sewing knoweldge to being fairly adept and joing fabrics in a productive way. We also got experiance with hand stiching and some embrodiary work. I felt acomplished after the studio and it was a great process of learning.
