Husky Energy Tailoring Skills for Women Much planning and preparation has taken place for our 2020 Husky Energy Tailoring Skills Program for Women. women have just started the journey of learning the skill of sewing clothes professionally.

Most of these women haven’t been to school and so all these skills are incredibly difficult. Could you imagine using a tape measure effectively if you didn’t know the numbers? Could you imagine using scissors for the first time and coordinating the cut? These are the challenges these women face, but it doesn’t stop them from working hard and learning all they can. They know the things they learn in this program will set them up with opportunities they haven’t had before and they embrace every moment. They practice first by using paper – cutting out patterns, measuring different size garments and fitting different pieces of the garment together. During the three-months of training, the teacher will grow and nurture the women in their skill development so they are confident in themselves to help support and provide a better future for their families and children.
