Sewing Area

 For successful sewing, a well-organized working area is very important.

• Basic requirements include space, light and access to electric points. 
• The cutting table should be at your elbow level for most comfortable working.
• Foldable ironing board for ironing fabrics and saving space.
• Heavy non steam iron box is useful for heavy fabrics whereas a steam iron is best for pressing darts and seams.
• A full-length mirror for analyzing your finished product.
• Having a waste bin to keep the working area tidy.
• A straight-backed chair for comfortable sitting.
• If the space is limited a well-organized planning will create room for everything. Also, the day-to-day things must be within reach to save effort and time to reach it.
• Protect fabrics from direct sunlight which may fade them and also avoid sewing in damp condition as it may rust the tools and cause fabrics to mildew (fungal growth).
• Switch off the appliances when not in use and keep the sharp instruments out of reach of children.
