Talk Story, Sew, & Feast
The Sewing Hui
Maui Visitors will have the opportunity to join The Sewing Hui in sewing for the Maui community, join us for lunch, and talk story with the residents that call the island of Maui home. It will be a chance for visitors to connect to the Maui community through giving back, creating, and enjoying a meal together with residents. Our hope is that we are able to create more of a bridge between Maui residents and visitors. Maui residents will be able to share more insight into the needs of the community and the current projects The Sewing Hui is working on. In addition, it will be a chance for visitors and residents to exchange, share, and learn from each other’s experiences. If you would like to be a part of this event as a resident or if you have friends visiting the island that you think would be interested, then please contact us at thesewinghui@gmail.com to sign up for the event. Sewing enthusiasts and people with a heart for the community are encouraged to reach out! You must register at least 24 hours in advance to participate. We look forward to connecting with all the volunteers who join in! To learn more about The Sewing Hui and what we do visit our website at www.thesewinghui.com
The Sewing Hui
About the organizer
The Sewing Hui is a dedicated group of volunteer sewists and craftspersons who give their time generously to the Maui community. It is made up of residents and visitor-volunteers. The Sewing Hui’s mission is to help our community by donating hand-sewn items to organizations and groups in need across Maui. It is our hope that through our organization we can exemplify the power of community, generosity, and creating together–spreading aloha one stitch at a time.
The Sewing Hui evolved out of the Maui Face Mask Project. That project, conducted in the Spring of 2020, was started to address the critical shortage of N-95 face masks on Maui. The project created 10,411 high quality filter face masks for Maui’s healthcare providers. These face masks were modeled after a flat-fold N-95 face mask provided by Kaiser Permanente Maui Lani Clinic. After the project was completed on May 15, 2020, the volunteers wanted to continue sewing for the community. Thus, The Sewing Hui was born. Founded and directed by dressmaker Jennifer Oberg, The Sewing Hui is a community volunteer organization.
