Our First Project from Ashtari

In beginning of May 2013, Jean Marc from Ashtary Restaurant asked Bersahara if our sewing group would be able to make cushion covers and mattress and with confidence we said that our sewing group would be happy to have this project.

When we conveyed this good news to the 6 women from sewing group, they couldn’t believe they were, to get their 1st order from a famous Restaurant in town. They were not confidence and afraid if the cushion cover would meet the requirement requested. We encourage them to take this challenge as a big opportunity to learn new skill. Sewing techniques of cushion cover were gathered and learn not only from internet but also from books. Finally within couple days they made the 1st sample.

At our small factory in Ujung Kuta every afternoon from 2pm to 5pm,  the 6 women in the Sewing group worked diligently on their first project. They were juggling between their first interior project and completion of 20 unit bags that must be supplied to our store and Novotel. After two weeks 10 of the cushion covers were delivered to Ashtary. With 2 manual sewing machines, finally 30 cushion covers were completed including 4 unit covers for the mattress.

 
Thank you Ashtary,  for the trust given to us.  It’s an honor to take part in making the atmosphere at Ashtari. One of the finest spaces to relax, enjoy great food and the stunning beauty of the South cost of Lombok.
