At Assisi Special School Vellayamkudy, our Stitching Program aims to equip students with valuable life skills through hands-on training in stitching and sewing. This activity not only nurtures creativity but also enhances fine motor skills, attention to detail, and patience. Key elements of the program include:

• Basic Stitching Techniques: Students learn foundational stitching methods, such as hemming, sewing buttons, and basic embroidery, developing practical skills that are useful in daily life.

• Creativity and Craftsmanship: Through stitching, students express their creativity by designing and making simple items like cloth bags, cushion covers, and small garments. This fosters a sense of accomplishment and pride in their work.

• Hand-Eye Coordination and Fine Motor Skills: The precision required in stitching helps improve hand-eye coordination and enhances fine motor skills, which are essential for many other learning activities.

• Patience and Focus: Stitching is a meticulous task that encourages patience and concentration. It teaches students to work carefully and attentively, reinforcing the importance of focus and perseverance.

• Building Self-Reliance: By learning to create or repair items, students gain a sense of independence and self-reliance, understanding the value of practical skills in their everyday lives.
