​SSS REACH

Save Scrap & Sew collects fabric scrap from tailors to create utility items, like sheets, bags and pillows. Our buddies, pitch in to sort, cut, iron & sew. When we find a deserving individual/ institution, we gift the items made by us. The idea is to give without delay or hoarding, and to anyone who will use it immediately. 


Our Mantra is:

'Efficiency is More Important than Perfection.'
