I love the way we can take one skill, a few pieces of material, and turn it into $$$!
In a quiet place, across the Demerara River, Jackie sews the prettiest dresses.
She also sews school uniforms on contract.
Jackie started with a basic skill which she learnt in school, then took a finishing course after sewing for a few years.
She works from 2 a.m. to 6 p.m., even on Sundays.
“I’ve always loved sewing,” she says. “I feel it’s a gift.”
Have a look ate her lovely dresses here:
(I forgot to ask her what sewing machine she uses!)
