It has been the greatest journey ever in my life I have experienced.
Sewing was never on my mind and that one day I might have an interest in sewing. I am so glad that I am doing it now and I am starting to be more interested and wanting to do more.
I am so grateful for this opportunity.
My mother I am sure is so proud of me in the heavens.
Finally I am making something all thanks to Usisi Omkhulu.

CATHREEN KHUMALO
I am from Princess; Roodepoort.
Learning to sew has been one incredible journey for me.
From the moment I picked up a needle and thread, I was hooked. At first it was frustrating; my stiches were unevenand my projects never turned out as planned. With time and practice, I began to enjoy the process.
There is something theapeutic about creating something from scratch.
I realized that sewing could not only be a hobby but also a way to give back.
I would love to start a sewing program, teaching them the skill to create their own clothes.
