The Tucson Refugee Sewing and Crafts Circle (TRSCC) is an innovative program of Iskash*taa Refugee Harvesting Network in collaboration with Tucson International Alliance of Refugee Communities (TIARC) and the Tucson Pima Arts Council. TRSCC helps refugees learn basic sewing and craft skills, including weaving, quilting, and crocheting. With these skills, refugees make clothes and other useful things for themselves and their families. Participants also make products for sale to provide some extra household income. For many participants, the bi-weekly classes offer their first experience with these sewing and crafts activities. A particular focus of the TRSCC is teaching how to re-use and recycle fabric, yarn, or used clothing to make new items.
 

You can share your skills and/or stuff:
