1,000 DRESSES
Four hundred pillowcase dresses pour out of a tote, while stacks of cases yet to be sewn are folded neatly beside them. In the next room, a rainbow of threads adorn a side table and spools of lace, elastic and precisely-cut trimming cover the remaining surfaces.
This is where Louise Dribnenki’s real work is done.
It’s a quiet space — a healing space.
In front of her sewing machine those headaches aren’t quite as bad.
Occupying her hands gets her mind off the pain.
And she’s certainly got work to do — 1,000 dresses by year’s end, in fact.
