Lovely Tailors

I am writing this from the shop floor here at Lovely Tailors. We have been at 14avanappattarai Street Teppakulam for a good while now. If you walk down the street, you will see our sign right there near the corner. Usually, the machines are humming all day long because there is always something to fix or sew. 14avanappattarai Street Teppakulam is a busy place, especially when the sun is out and everyone is walking to the market. Inside, there are scraps of fabric on the floor and spools of thread of every color you can imagine sitting on the shelves. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty with all the lint, but that is just how it is when you work with clothes every day. People stop by to drop off a shirt or ask about a repair, and we just get to it when we can. The tea man comes by twice a day, and we take a short break then. It is not a fancy place, just a workspace where we do what needs doing. The light comes in through the front door and hits the cutting table. We keep the scissors sharp and the iron hot most of the time. Sometimes the neighbors come in just to chat for a bit while we work on the hemlines. It is a simple life here on 14avanappattarai Street Teppakulam, and we just keep the machines running through the week until it is time to close up for the night.
