Michelle Mc Koy of M.A.S Fashions: A God inspired seamstress (The Pioneers Series 2017 – 7th Feature).

Nine years ago when she could not afford to buy a dress for her daughter, Michelle decided to buy a piece of fabric, took one of her daughter’s old dresses, cut the fabric, and made a dress for her daughter. Everyone fell in love with that dress so she decided to buy some more fabric to make a few more dresses, and she walked around Georgetown to show case her work and sell them. The second Saturday as Michelle walked around, she met a young lady who admired her dresses and that young lady went home and told her mom. Her mom requested that Michelle go to a particular store. When Michelle went to the store she was surprised at the amount of orders she received. The woman at the store was so impressed with Michelle’s work that she ordered more than forty dresses that day.
Michelle has a God given ability. She has never been trained in sewing, yet when you show her a design she can make it 99.9% like that shown in the picture. Moreover, when you tell her what you want, she has the ability to do it. Below is a picture of some work that Michelle did for me and my family. My wife Ernella bought the fabric, told Michelle what she wanted, and Michelle made my wife's idea a reality. It landed us on the front page of the Stabroek News Paper the day after Emancipation in 2015. From the time we reached the National Park, people began to take our pictures. Those pictures were posted on several websites including Hotspot GY. Michelle can sew men’s clothing, women’s clothing, children’s clothing, uniforms, and anything that she sees.

Michelle’s clients include The Bank of Guyana, Ministry of Culture, The National Library, Giftland, Tots and Teens, The Baby Story, CHI, doctors, The  National School of Dance, me, my wife, and children to name a few.

Below is a picture of a dress Michelle sewed for my daughter who had to attend a wedding. 

God gives Michelle inspiration to sew. According to Michelle:
“God is my inspiration…He gives me the strength to do everything. He shows Himself through me that you can do anything because sometimes I don’t know a style and God inspires me through dreams…”


Michelle wants others to know that they can do anything through Christ. She said “I am a living example that God can do anything with you once you are willing…”


Michelle’s business is called M.A.S Fashions. M.A.S means Michelle Anointed Styles.
