EN: Sewing
Before Zara and Shopee, there was the neighborhood 'kosturera'. She's the magical person who could turn a piece of 'tela' into your prom gown, fix your too-long pants, or patch up the hole in your favorite shirt. The original fashion designer for the masses.
From Spanish 'costura' (sewing, seam).
When referring to the person, 'mananahi' is more common now, but 'kosturera' (feminine) or 'sastre' (masculine, for a tailor) is also used. 'Kostura' often refers to the craft itself.
🇵🇭 Mahusay ang kostura ng damit na ito kaya matibay.
🇺🇸 The sewing on this dress is excellent, that's why it's durable.
