Seated at their Singer machines, these skilled seamstresses meticulously thread elastic bands into the garments, each stitch a testament to their expertise.

As they work side by side, laughter and conversation fill the air, creating an atmosphere of unity amidst the hum of machinery. These women were more than just workers; they were pioneers breaking barriers in a male-dominated field. Their dedication to their craft is evident as they focus intently on perfecting every detail. With determination etched on their faces, they embody strength and resilience.
