Thank you so much Nelson peps for your generosity!
Sewing graduate Nini turned up to our home wearing a new salwar she had made all by herself, at home during the weekend and she looked so stoked. She used the pattern we made together in sewing class. She knows how to lay the cloth, cut it and constructed it. Clever lady! She is a great seamstress
