It doesn't matter if you are related to the clothing industry or not — watch the sensational documentary “The true Cost”
It shows the underside of production, what and who is behind each thing.
What is the life cycle of your T-Shirt?
Why do 99% of clothes end up in a landfill, even if you gave them to charity?

Movie is available on YouTube https://youtu.be/0wB2SS1GC3M

And what are we doing?
We buy shit that we don't need."
I recommend a documentary on YouTube:
"Money, happiness and eternal life - Greed"

There are not only sewing machines but also overlockers, and in Tekka they have one industrial machine.
You also can come to these places to work on your project.
I also would like to mention that sometimes there are more participants than volunteers, so it would be amazing if you can come and help others as volunteer.
