A lesson in stitching together community bonds


A group of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Bahrain showcased dresses they made during the fifth week of a dress-making workshop.

The seven-week course, organised by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and Pinay Ikaw Na (PIN), aims to equip participants with essential dressmaking skills – from basic pattern drafting to final garment construction.

The group consisted of Evelyn Vergara, Maria Pecundo, Jocelyn Melencion, Josette Palingcod, Lenilla Romco, Marife Reyes, Marites Ramiro and Cecilia Ancheta, out of a total 40 participants.

“After creating my own dress, I really appreciate the skills of a tailor,” said Ms Pecundo.
