In this workshop, participants will create a mini bag using CHECK&STRIPE fabrics and JUKI's industrial sewing machines "SL-700EX" and "SL-300EX." Participants can choose their preferred fabric from CHECK&STRIPE's attractive fabric scraps and enjoy making a one-of-a-kind bag.

Through the workshop, we aim to convey the appeal of manufacturing with sewing machines and provide new insights from the upcycling experience, such as the perspective of using items carefully and ingenuity in bringing out the best in materials.

On the day, JUKI staff will also participate and introduce the basic usage of industrial sewing machines and tips tailored to the production process. The content is designed to be accessible to a wide range of participants, from those who want to start sewing to those who want to improve their skills.

We sincerely look forward to your participation.

JUKI is committed to addressing social issues set forth in the SDGs and aims to remain a company with social value as a partner in realizing a "rich life" for people around the world through the creation of a sustainable society.
