Jayasree Clothing

We set up Jayasree Clothing over at 16thirumoorthy Nagar in Samundipuram South, near the Gandhi Nagar Post office. It’s a quiet enough street, though it gets a bit busy when the mail is being delivered nearby. Our place is basically a large room where we do all the cutting and sewing. It’s not a very big operation, just a few of us working together to get the clothes made. We spend most of our time at the cutting tables or behind the machines. The floor is often covered in loose threads and bits of paper patterns. We try to keep it organized, but when we are in the middle of a big job, things tend to get a bit cluttered. We’ve been in this neighborhood for a while, and people around here know they can drop by if they need to talk about an order. It’s a very hands-on job, and we are usually covered in lint by the end of the day. We don't really have any big mission or anything like that; we just want to make sure the clothes are put together correctly. Sometimes we have to stay late to finish a batch if the delivery truck is coming early the next morning. It’s just the way the garment business works. We keep our overhead low and focus on the sewing. It’s a simple setup, but it works for us and the people we work for. Usually, we take a long break for lunch when the sun is highest.
