Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. These students graduated from the Sewing
Project and have found work in the community.

Customers to the Vocational Sewing Center obtained 
styling advice, for unique design and perfect production of
clothes. A second product was cosmography. In the attic of
the Sewing Center is a storage area for her costumes. This is a small collection, but is useful for TV and Movie costume
production. |

 Jasna made costumes for a Bosnian movie and did the costume design. She
made a new fashion collection.
She was involved in a National TV show as stylist and designer and has an opportunity to use her clothes from previous fashion shows.

which
were sold out at the Holiday
Spirit Bazaar in Sarajevo. Material was donated from the United
States and the students cut and assemble them by
color and the topic. As reactions to the products were very positive,
Jasna decided to offer them in a number of places in Sarajevo. 
Jasna worked twice a week with these creative young
people and at the same time prepared her new collection for a fashion show.
She now has "ready to
wear" collections -- for women and for men. There is
also a collection of evening dresses.
