Gregorio Guevara Espinoza says he celebrates Independence Day from his sewing machine.

In the 47 years that he has been living with threads and needles, Gregorio has developed his skills in making clothing, and since more than 15 years ago he has been dedicated to fashioning berets, pants with adornments (decails of the flag on the sides), caps, typical dance dresses and leggings, among another types of clothing.

"There are days like this when a lot of work comes to make clothing that the students will use. The good thing is that everything is made quickly, but I have to hurry because they always bring it only a week in advance," said Gregorio.

Gregorio related that he celebrates Independence Day from his sewing machine. Every stitch that he makes in the costumes fills him with patriotic emotion, knowing that he has this country in his heart.
