Sri Vasthra Creation

We are over at No.7 in the Sylvan Lodge Colony, right on 1St Street. We are very close to the Uma Complex in Kilpauk. The shop is usually filled with different kinds of fabrics and finished clothes. We spend a lot of time measuring things out and cutting material on the big table in the center of the room. It gets a bit crowded when a new shipment comes in and we have to find space on the racks. The street outside is usually full of cars and people heading toward the complex. We keep the door open to let some air in, though the city noise comes in with it. There is a small desk in the corner where we keep the ledger and the phone. We get a lot of local folks coming in asking about specific colors or styles. It’s a lot of manual work, pinning things and checking the seams. The lighting inside is a bit bright but it helps us see the threads clearly. We’ve been in Kilpauk for a while and the neighborhood has changed some, but we stay pretty much the same. We start the day with a quick cleanup and then it’s just handling the cloth until we close. It is a steady job and we like the rhythm of the sewing machines running in the back. Sometimes we drink tea with the ladies who work here while we plan the next set of patterns.
