About Me
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.
My Business
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.
Loan Proposal
I intend to buy African fabric.
I usually buy fabric at ksh 800 per piece
usually I buy the fabric in eastleigh Nairobi where I get the fabric at half price. the market price in the textile shops is ksh 1600
This makes 3 skirts
The amount I will get will help me buy 6 pieces of fabric
That will help me make 18 african skirts
this creates additional income and helps me grow as a designer
