Most seamstresses have their sewing machine on a table in front of the window. And they have a large extra lamp on the desk or a fluorescent tube above the sewing machine. Fortunately, the sewing machine itself also has a built-in light. You can hardly have enough light!

But how do we sew as economically as possible?

Let's forget about the leggings and sleeveless t-shirts! After all, they only look good on few people... A much better option for a long, hot summer is the caftan.
