"I started the fashion design project using a small Imperial sewing machine at home and many people were attracted to my work and they started placing orders. I can now send my three kids to school," she said.
She said her dream is to see her small business grow and spread its wings in other parts of Mzansi.
She added that the business will have a workshop to train and help the unemployed youth with design skills and sewing.
