Custom tailoring is a highlight of many travelers’ visits to Hoi An. Tailored products are quickly made, and as a result, shops and businesses around the town discard a lot of fabrics of all kinds. Expanding the program “Linen for Life”, GYC collects discarded materials, including bed sheets and towels from luxury hotels, to recycle and repurpose for greater good wherever possible.
By joining this activity, you can repurpose an old T-shirt or other item of clothing to produce something new which keeps its emotional attachment, for yourself or as a gift for a special friend. You can choose to work on a basic or an intermediate skill level, and equally important, you can have fun learning new skills which you can also pass on to others, and which contribute to building a sustainable planet.
