KENYA · GUIDE 0261 · EDITION 4.2
School uniform stitching in Kenya
School uniforms stitched to written school specifications and the learner's recorded measurements.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional UNIFORM-261 stitches six navy school skirts U01–U06 using customer-supplied fabric, with guardian/school-approved sample. U03 job card records body waist 64 cm, finished waistband 66 cm and finished waist-seam-to-hem 60 cm after fitting; the 2 cm difference is this approved job's ease, not a universal rule. Customer supplies 10 m fabric measured on receipt; actual layout must prove sufficiency before cutting. Price is stitching/trims service only.
Who is the first customer?
