My name is Delicia Pietersen currently a student at Al Fidaa Foundation (Umthumgo sewing studio) and will be graduating soon. I have started selling small project like pajama’s and doing alterations.
With the funding that I will potentially receive. I would like to expand my business by offering clients custom design clothing/garments, alterations, accessories and consultation. My services will be provided to a variety of customers age and culture. My goal is to also create my own fashion line of clothing brand.
The funding will give me the opportunity to purchase the equipment I require to my business successful. As I am in need of a list of required equipment items: Overlooker, iron, cutting tools, stationery, sewing tools, etc. Receiving funding will take burning away from taking of taking out a loan and putting myself in debt. My future plans are to create employment and offer basic skills in sewing as I know the impact of unemployment is and generally with an increase in demand, gradually offering employment and skill will empower youth in my community.
