The flowers, or pensamientos as they are called in the community, are first hand drawn on the fabric and then cut and embroidered by hand. Later the pieces are joined and in the center just below the chest the pieces are joined under the technique called ""hazme si puedes"", where figures of men and women are embroidered intercalated and holding hands representing a united and working people. Each piece is unique and unrepeatable so it has its own peculiarities of its manual manufacture, these small imperfections should not be seen as flaws but as part of its unique character.

San Antonino Dresses and Blouses

Fausto is mainly organized with his family, his mother and sister. He learned the art of woving about 10 years ago. He initially started this craft to preserve his mother’s tradition, but today he has learned to master this art.

He and his family focus mainly on drawing, cutting, weaving and gathering. They also work on embroidery, but normally they are supported by another group of artisans from the community of Miahuatlán.

Fausto is a young man, eager to learn and grow. He has a great patience and attitude, and it has been a pleasure to visit him and see how he does his work with a lot of dedication and effort.
