Hi my name is Carol. I'm the first born in a family of five. I have to brother's. I love working with fabric. I feel good when I make something beautiful from some piece of fabric.
Its a blessing to be able to pursue that which I love to do. Business isnt easy but doing something I love makes it easier to push on. something I've learned is that aside from. money one really need to have a deep passion for what they pursue. That way even when things get tough one is able to stick it through the tough times.
I mainly specialize in female African clothing. I love making African maxi skirts. I recently purchased a new electric machine that does more stitches. This is so helpful as I can now do a neat finish on the clothes. I was using a machine with limited stiches and that made it difficult to create a neat finish. This new machine is a step in the right direction. I would like to purchase some more African fabric so that I can make some more African skirts and dresses. I have a love for African designs and I look forward to building my brand. it's been a journey and I believe with every experience I learn and grow.
I will add the funds to my personal funds and purchase a new sewing machine for my shop.
This will help me produce garments more efficiently as the machine i have been using keeps breaking down. Its abit old. Things makes it hard to produce garments on time as sometimes it just wont stitch.
I wish to expand production, produce more african garments and market them online. Try to reach a wider audience. I recently registered with Jumia and would like to have an efficient machine in place. so that i can process orders faster without delays related to a broken machine.Plus i have a new lady who has some tailoring experience and i would like her to also grow her skills.
I'm very passionate about design and i would love to really work at building my skill.
