SEWING, DRESSMAKING OR FASHION DEPARTMENT

This department is the largest with most students, specifically girls. The lady with the slippers is fixing beads on them to make them look more attractive to attract quick sales. The woman in stripes is the department head, her name is Mrs. Mavis Ackom Afful and she is sewing a kentey material for Dr. Liams and Walker, ours volunteers from the USA. This was done after her students transferred the measurements of the volunteers onto the material and cut accordingly. The lady with the tape measure around her neck is cutting pieces of materials to be sewn. One of the ladies behind the machines is fixing a thread in the needle of the machine while the other is making sure that what she’s stitched is the right thing to do. The kentey material sewn is what the white woman, Dr. Walker is wearing and before her are bags made from bamboo.
