Tuesday 14 November 2023: Kathryn Hoang approached a few of us on Instagram to help her engineer a cutting tool to make the sewing process easier.

Did you comment on the 2 SewOver50 posts recently? Those 2 posts that many of you commented on, were designed to add a practical element to Kathryn’s engineering project.

Kathryn’s project scope was to design a product that aids in cutting fabric so that seniors may engage in their sewing hobby conveniently and with less strain compared to current tools on the market.

Now be aware, her project scope was not a cure health issues like mobility and vision but work out a way to make the sewing process easier.

Kathryn identified the key aims for our sewing as part of her design planning.

The 3 key reasons are:
1: to regain control of style
2: brings us joy
3: we repurpose clothing.
