Tailor Made

Two weeks ago the kindergarten teacher bought fabric for us to make twin dresses with. We finally had the chance to go to the tailor yesterday and spent a good part of the morning trying to track down the woman who would do it for us. We finally found her in her very small home with only two couches, a television and a small room for storage. There were many small apartments like this under one roof, with an area in the middle for hanging clothes and cooking. I’m not quite sure where anyone sleeps, but everything in those living quarters seemed to be a team effort.

Anyway, we both got measured for our dresses and played with the kids while we waited for her to finish. The dresses cost 10,000 shillings a piece and should be ready next week. Pictures to follow!
