It doesn't matter if you sew several times a yearmood or do needlework at home every week, you still need a cozy and comfortable corner to have everything at hand. Our article contains the most interesting ideas Of course, first of all, our article will be of interest to those who have organized a small studio at home. The most important thing in business is to have regular customers. To do this, you need to think through a lot: the concept, approximate costs, advertising and, of course, the workspace. We will give some useful tips on how to organize it. As a stylist, creator and business owner, first of all, you need to consider the practicality of all zones - creative (for creating products, sketching sketches and patterns), work (with a cutting table, necessary materials, sewing machine), client (reception and fitting area). The main advantage of an open plan is that it allows small spaces to look large, so if you are going to turn your apartment into a workshop, an open plan will provide an opportunity to place everything you need and decorate the room according to your preferences. First of all, update yours"production base" - the sewing machine should be multifunctional, you will need a good iron with a steam generator and, perhaps, a special device for steam processing on the weight, do not forget about the overlock machine (a device that is indispensable for processing knitwear), and we also strongly advise not to spare money on the washing machine. To save a little space, you can place the ironing board behind the mirror or "hide" it in a shelf or on the door of your workshop. Fabrics, patterns, and cuttings take up a lot of space,but should always be at arm's length. But what if you have been ordered a dress with a complex cut? How to position yourself on the table? Maybe on the floor? Or attach the fabrics to the wall? No. A good sewing studio cannot do without a comfortable cutting table. Remember that for cutting you need a table over which you do not have to bend over and where you can spread the fabric across its entire width. An important detail of any workshop is a separate work table, convenient for placing a computer or laptop, creating sketches and maintaining the necessary documentation, as well as with shelves for fashion magazines and boxes with patterns. Try to place the tables in the best-lit place in order to spend less effort and money on lighting the work area. Whenever possible, make space forracks with hangers for finished orders. This will not only refresh the interior with bright colors, but also help customers fully appreciate your work. As for the location and storage of materials, not only all kinds of shelves, drawers, boxes, but even walls will come to your aid. Walls are used by craftsmen not only to attach useful notes and articles, sketches and photographs, but also to store fabrics, scissors, ribbons, paints and even threads. And if you decorate the storage area, for example, with a frame, this will make such a place an original decorative element. We also advise you to use transparent boxes, jars and boxes when organizing your workplace, but if this is not possible, you can use stickers or original tags. What no sewing machine can do withoutworkshop? Of course, without a mannequin. You can buy one, or you can make or decorate it yourself using multi-colored fabric, burlap, cardboard, wire, and even pages from glossy magazines. If you don’t have a mannequin, decorate it with beautiful beads, flowers, or a scarf. We are sure that such an unusual element will not only attract the eye and arouse the interest of any client, but will also show your individual author’s style. Also think about where you will be comfortabletalk to customers and measure them: you will need a large mirror and a screen for changing clothes. And if you decorate the interior with cute vintage things and details (for example, use an old ironing board as a table), the workshop will look like a real fashion studio. Creative and working success to you!
