“Officially a Guinness World Record Holder!
106 hours, 55 minutes, and 20 seconds of non-stop sewing-needle and thread in hand, passion in my heart! From crafting a full Agbada in the first 6 hours to completing 18 outfits, this journey has been nothing short of incredible.
This is more than just a record; it’s a testament to perseverance, skill, and the power of believing in one’s craft.
Many thanks to @guinnessworldrecords for the recognition, and to everyone who supported me on this journey-this victory is ours!
