One sewing machine “in a corner” of her home and a growing apparel repair/design business with 4 years of experience—still outsourcing screenprinting (lower margins) and facing barriers like limited permits and needing additional equipment (e.g., a serger).
Support made possible through Unbound & Soleran enabled her to invest in production tools—industrial equipment and screenprinting capability—so she could improve quality and reduce costs.
Claudia is continuing to save for more tools (including a serger) and pursuing training with the goal of opening a dedicated space to sell costumes, uniforms, graduation dresses, and more—expanding into stronger markets as permits allow.
