Two days before Christmas, the sewing workshops are running at full capacity to honor the last deliveries for today and tomorrow, December 24. The observation is that despite the development of the importation of new or second-hand clothing, tailor-made enthusiasts remain attached to their habits. From mid-November, seamstresses, generally working in the informal sector, begin to see customers arrive in large numbers with their fabrics and their clothing models, to be made to measure. This sector also lives in the digital age, models can be taken and communicated virtually as well as via the good old methods: fashion catalogs and handmade drawings.
The last two days before Christmas are marathon days for seamstresses and sewing workshops in general, where we experience a real race against time, in order to be able to finish the work on time. As Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year, it will exceptionally be a working day for seamstresses and employees of sewing workshops.
The holiday periods are also synonymous with an increase in the volume of work for several other sectors of activity, in addition to sewing, such as catering and the hairdressing, beauty and aesthetics professions. Also, overwork is not an exception on the eve of a holiday. And on the big day, their clients party or go to the temple, while they finally find the softness of their… bed, for a well-deserved rest, with the winnings as a bonus!
