Dresses knit with crochet
She belongs to a group of eight artisans who learned this technique from their mothers when they were six years old. They decided to form their collective five years ago to preserve the tradition and provide a livelihood for their families.
Each one has a different responsibility: cutting, sewing, weaving and so forth. They also work together with other artisans, since the looms used in their dresses come from other communities. They require approximately one month to make a dress.
Odilia is a very responsible and willing woman. She is always attentive to what I ask and is very open to receive opinions, as well as to make proposals. Without a doubt, I was very lucky that she accepted to work with me.
