Amaira'S Creations

Down here at G-57 Masjid Moth, the vibe is a bit different than the main market area of Greater Kailash 2. We have this spot where we keep all our supplies and the sewing machines are usually humming throughout the afternoon. It gets quite warm in the summer months, so we keep the fans going at full speed. People think GK2 is all shiny shops, but we are just in a regular building doing our bit. I started this because I liked working with my hands, and now it’s just what I do every morning. The address is easy enough to find if you know the mosque nearby. We have rolls of fabric leaning against the corners and sometimes it's hard to walk through the main room without tripping over something. I try to keep it organized, but by Wednesday, everything is a mess again. It’s just how it goes when you’re actually busy. We don't have a big sign or anything too flashy outside. Most people find us because they live nearby or they heard about us from a friend who told them where we were. We take our lunch breaks together and usually talk about things other than work. It’s not a fancy studio with glass walls, just a practical place where we get the garments finished. The evening traffic on the main road can be a real headache when we are trying to head home after a long shift.
