The facilities at the new home for the Summer Hill Sewing workshops have been well and truly tested and they have passed with flying colours. The giant ironing board is proving to be indispensable, the huge cutting table facilitates very wide bolts of fabric and the industrial shed lights are wonderful.
We are working on the old idea of a work coat called a duster. Dusters were traditionally worn by tradespeople and horsemen to keep the dust off their clothes. Here is our first attempt...not happy with the pockets so will work on the design over the next few weeks. Some of our sewers attending the workshops are contributing to this project; it is a work in progress.
Hopefully it will result in the 'Seamstress Duster' I envisage as the practical garment to sew in.
