To help Garden of Skills compete in the local market for the production of school uniforms, Designing Hope has invested in a professional embroidery machine that will enable them to embroider the school emblems on site. This service is not very common in the country and requires at least 30 minutes’ transport to be carried out. This is a major commercial advantage for the women of Jardin des Garden of Skills. Designing Hope also ordered a series of cotton shopping bags on which the women were able to embroider the words “jardin des savoir-faire” on the handle using this machine. The vegetables on these tote bags were embroidered by hand by the women themselves. Machine embroidery is not intended to replace this skill, but only to complement it for logos and writing that are more complex to do by hand.
