My Little Sewing Room

I have been trying to figure out and to rearrange my little sewing room to a much better look. I am hoping that I can resolve it but it's gonna cost me. It was in a mess every time I completed my sewing task with scattered small pieces of cut cloth all over the room. I have been using the old newspapers to make pattern mainly because I wanted to be familiar with it. In my mind I always wanted to make a little bit of contribution to Mother Earth. Besides sending the old newspapers to the recycle collector near my house, at least by doing so I also practice recycling used item. I will keep the old used pattern in a folder which so far I’ve never refer to them. I always start making pattern with a new fresh piece of newspaper trying to recall my memory without referring to my sewing notes. I hope by early next year I would be able to do so.
Here are all my pattern stacking found at the corner of my little sewing room. Almost covers my AB-Shaper equipment. I should transfer all of them into a DIY folder soon.
Normally I drew pattern using instructions from my notes and transfer it to the newspaper after getting the exact mesurements. When finished, I will cut the pattern accordingly. This particular blouse I got commissioned on doing so.Here are two of my patterns. Done! It is a simple long sleeve blouse. You can see the front of the blouse lying flat on my sewing table.

And here is the picture of my customer wearing the blouse that I have sew. Zaba thanks a lot for emailing to me the picture. Initially she is my customer until I met her the other day at her office and now she has become a new friend of mine. Zaba, nice knowing you. She has also given me another 4m material to make baju kurung for her. She wanted to have the taste of my "sew-and-nice-to-wear" trial. If it is OK for her she will hire me as her tailor. I agree to take the challenge and I will do my best. Thanks again Zaba for your support.

I will write a little bit about Baju Kurung the famous
traditional long dress in Malaysia in my next up.
Till than see you and take care.
