《薄扶林村姑手作誌》計劃於2021年展開，「村姑工房」六位成員跟本地創作人學習不同手藝，如本地植物染、縫染、天然食物染色、陶藝、竹藝等等，以自身經歷及手藝表達生活所思所感，思考手藝如何能夠在現今社區發展和歷史文化保育中擔當角色。書中輯錄她們學藝過程和對手藝與生活的點滴，並提供手藝示範和教學，讓讀者有所參考也跟著做，以推廣「手作」的重要性。

The project Pokfulam Village Aunties' Studio Handcraft Journal began in 2021. Six Pokfulam Village aunties learned a variety of craft techniques from local artists, including plant dyeing, stitched shibori, natural food dyeing, ceramics, and bamboo art. Through their personal experiences and creations, they express their thoughts and feelings while reflecting on how crafts contribute to community development and the preservation of local history and culture. The book documents their learning journey and reflections on craft and life, and also offers step-by-step DIY demonstrations to inspire readers and highlight the value of handmade practices.
