The Costura is actually located in Lilly's living room. It's amazing. There are a ton of machines just waiting to be used. Pictured here the people who took advantage of the course that was held for sewing class. Just recently we opened the doors again to the Costura. There are people in the community trained to sew and tailor and the machines are there so anything that we made would be nothing but profit. Right now we are working with just finding where to get the clothes. We have some ideas of what we can do. One, we are going to have the ladies sew the uniformes for the Colegio I'm working with at the beginning of next year. Also, the ladies are asking for people's old clothes and they are fixing them up and selling them on Saturday at discounted prices. We are hoping that once we are up and running for awhile people in the barrio will catch on and start bringing their clothes there. I'm sure one of my tasks will be to look for more outside business, but we are just taking it one step at a time. The Costura is another service that we provide that can help bring money INto the barrio and is a possible way another one of the other projects can be sustained. Ah, I just love possibility!
