Serene Liu (serene.liu@ust.hk)
Laura Kwan (laura.kwan@ust.hk)
"Stitch Together" is a collaborative project between HKUST Connect and INNOTIER, dedicated to repurposing and upcycling used antimicrobial fabrics (Ionic+™ fibres). The Stitch Together project will benefit society as we gift upcycled quality products to the community, reduce landfill waste and minimize consumption of resources by saving used materials. By upcycling, you can contribute not only to a more sustainable future but also to the promotion of a sustainable lifestyle in the community. Please click here to refer to more details about the Stitch Together program.
Our design team members have designed oversleeves and armchair organizers for street cleaners and wheelchair users respectively. Join our production team to create practical gifts for the needy using the fabrics, and help us showcase the practicality of a sustainable lifestyle in Hong Kong. To support your upcycling journey, we will offer sewing training to assist you in creating upcycled products with your own hands.
As a member of the Stitch Together Production Team, your responsibilities include:
- Learning how to machine sew the designed products
- Producing quality and useful products with care
- Promoting a sustainable lifestyle within the community
- Distributing the final products to the service recipients (street cleaners & wheelchair users).
