The Apparel Training And Design Centre

This center is tucked away in Delhi, and it is where most of us spend the majority of our waking hours. It is all about the apparel world here, covering sketching to the final stitch. We are not really a big corporate setup with lots of rules, just a group of people who happen to know our way around a needle and thread. Every morning we open up the doors and get the workspace ready for whoever is coming in to learn or work that day. Delhi is such a massive, crowded city, but our little corner feels more like an old-fashioned workshop than anything else. There is usually scrap fabric lying around on the floor and plenty of tea being drunk between the different tasks we have to finish. We do not put on any airs here. If we see a seam is crooked, we will just tell you to rip it out and start all over again. That is really the only way you learn how to do it right. A lot of the people who come here are looking to get a start in the garment industry, which is a huge part of life in this area. We show them the ropes. It is not always pretty, and the air gets a bit dusty with all the lint from the cloth, but we genuinely like it. We have been at this for a long time, so we have seen all kinds of styles come and go. We just stick to the basics. It is how we work.
