Join the Sew-cial Club — Where Creativity Meets Community!

We are thrilled to announce that Stitch Together is now Sew-cial Club! After two impactful years, our new name better reflects our vision: a vibrant community where like-minded individuals collaborate and care. It also marks our evolving mission — moving beyond practical crafting to encompass creativity and social impact.

Co-created with our long-standing impact partner INNOTIER, students have upcycled unused antimicrobial Ionic+™ fabrics into meaningful products tailored for street cleaners, wheelchair users, and older people. As we enter our third year, the programme will continue to empower students to apply creative problem-solving, a user-centric approach, and collaborative innovation to develop products that address the real needs of these underserved members of our community.

What you will gain:

  • Powerful Design Skills: Explore design thinking through empathy and user-centered approaches to product development.
  • Hands-On Craftsmanship: Learn machine sewing, paper pattern-making, and prototyping techniques to bring ideas to life.
  • Production Line Experience: Gain practical experience from concept creation to product production, packaging, and delivery to real users.
  • Sustainability in Action: Collaborate with like-minded peers to upcycle and repurpose unused antimicrobial fabrics into meaningful products.
  • CV Enrichment: Showcase your creativity, problem-solving, and ability to deliver a product from concept to reality — a valuable highlight for future opportunities. 

If you’re passionate about sustainable development and making a difference, join the Sew-cial Club today!

As a Team Member, you will:

  • Receive expert insights from representatives from INNOTIER on antimicrobial fabrics.
  • Attend workshops on design thinking and sewing techniques
  • Design and creatively upcycle unused antimicrobial fabrics
  • Research and understand the needs of target recipients
  • Produce high-quality, useful products with care and purpose
  • Distribute the final products to those in need, fostering connections and making a positive impact.

Description


*The Ionic+™ fibres woven onto the fabrics release silver ions (Ag+) and will act in several ways to inhibit and eliminate viruses and bacteria on the surface, protecting the fabrics from microbial impact.

Be inspired

Never underestimate the difference you can make by offering your time and effort to serve others. As you extend grace and show compassion, you are giving a part of your life to make someone else's a little better. By showing up, you are spreading hope.

Our volunteers will tell you that it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive.
