Recommendation for a seamstress in Medellin?

I need a couple of shirts made. Nothing special, just some simple short-sleeved shirts custom made for a (what else?) portly American.

Not a fancy suit tailor, just some small shop or work-at-home Mom that does that sort of work. The cheaper, the better. I will supply the fabric.

We used a woman who lives a few blocks from my wife's apartment in Belen-Miravalle and she was great. She did all the bridesmaids dresses along with the wedding dress. I'll try to find out who she is.

Static I don't know where you live but when I go out for a walk here in Sabaneta I can see a home where they do this kind of stuff almost on every block. It is very common here and they charge very little.
