Learn more about Catherine McKinley Instagram: @the_african_lookbook and @cemck2 www.catherinemckinley.net www.themckinleycollection.com Catherine says that some of her "most meaningful experiences were sitting at sewing tables in Africa and watching the contact between a seamstress and clients. Sewing orders or elaborate alterations are a weekly or monthly indulgence for many women, so the gossip and planning, the low grade competition, and the intimacy of fittings, etc. was wonderful, not to mention the latest styles and new cloth designs, which changed so rapidly."
