Wally the Designer

There are many staff members or workers throughout the workshop, both fulfilling other orders and organizing Wally's schedule (which is why he doesn't have time). The workshop is enormous but beautiful and elegant. Although there are many orders, everything is always in order. The workshop contains countless textile items such as thick fabric, needles, machines, etc. There is a first-aid room because many accidents happen there. There are more men than women in his workshop. His workshop is called "The Design of Perfection." There is beautiful and elegant furniture, as well as amenities. There is elegant music that plays warmly throughout the shop. Closing time is 11 PM and opening time is 6 AM. There are cleaning staff or apprentices taking their trial exams. The workshop is cream-colored, and the columns are violet. There are paintings of famous people who used Wally's designs, and there are trophies and newspaper clippings where Wally won various clothing competitions, even when he was young.

Head and Neck Area: By circling the base of the neck, the necessary circumference for formal shirts is obtained. By passing over the eyebrows and ears, the head circumference is taken for hats or hoods. The height of the neck is also measured from its base to the beginning of the chin. Upper Torso Area: The complete circle around the most prominent part of the chest gives the bust or ribcage circumference, while just below it, the underbust circumference is measured for corsetry and lingerie. Horizontally, the back width is calculated between the two shoulder bones, and the chest width from armpit to armpit. To add dimension to garments, the bust separation between both breasts and the bust height from the base of the neck to the peak of the breast are measured. Finally, the shoulder length is measured to the shoulder bone, and the shoulder slope is measured to determine the angle of inclination with respect to the horizontal. Mid-Torso Area: Waist sizes are measured from the base of the neck to the waist, taking the front waist measurement from the front and the back waist measurement from the back. The narrowest part of the torso defines the overall waist circumference, but the high waist circumference below the ribs and the low waist circumference where low-rise pants rest are also measured. At the sides, the length is measured from the armpit to the waistline. Arm and Hand Area: The complete circle around the shoulder joint and armpit gives the armhole circumference. For the limbs, the arm circumference is measured over the bicep, the elbow circumference, and the wrist circumference. To ensure the hand can fit through a closed fist, the hand circumference is measured over the knuckles. Regarding lengths, the length of the entire arm to the wrist is measured with the arm flexed, and the length from shoulder to elbow is measured to determine the length, etc.

Cutting Tools: Tailor's Scissors: Heavy, forged steel with an angled handle for cutting fabric on the table without lifting it. Dressmaker's Scissors: Lighter, ideal for details and quick cuts. Rotary Cutter: A circular blade for cutting slippery fabrics or multiple layers on a special cutting mat. Paper Scissors: Exclusively for cutting patterns, as paper dulls the edge of fabric scissors. Seam Ripper: A small tool with a hooked tip and a mini blade for opening incorrect seams or buttonholes. Holding Tools: Dressmaker's Pins: Made of extra-fine tempered steel so as not to pierce or damage the threads of delicate fabrics. Glass-Headed Pins: Withstand the heat of an iron if passed over them. Pattern Weights: Metal blocks or sandbags that hold the pattern paper to the fabric when cutting without using pins. Sewing Clips: Plastic clips that hold materials that cannot be pierced, such as leather or... Vinyl. Marking and Measuring Tools. Tailor's tape measure: Flexible, made of fiberglass so it doesn't stretch over time, with numbers on both sides. Tailor's chalk: Chalk tablets for drawing lines on fabric that are easily erased with a brush or the heat of an iron. Heat-erasable pens: Special pens whose ink disappears completely when ironed. Pattern-making rulers: These include the set square, the French curve ruler (for armholes and necklines), and the hip ruler for tracing anatomical curves. Needles and Consumables. Machine needles: They have the eye at the point and vary in thickness and type (ballpoint for stretch fabrics, spear point for denim or leather). Hand sewing needles: They have the eye at the back and are used for basting, making invisible hems, or high stitching.

Types of Sewing Machines To transform fabric into clothing from scratch, a garment maker uses different specialized machines, as a single machine cannot perform the entire process: Straight Stitch Machine (or standard home/industrial machine): This is the main machine and the heart of the workshop. It performs the basic, straight stitch to join pieces of fabric. It is used for general seams, hems, darts, and attaching zippers. Overlock Machine (or serger): This machine is indispensable because it cuts off excess fabric while overstitching the edge with multiple threads at once. Its function is to prevent the fabric from fraying on the inside and to give a clean finish. It is also the main machine for sewing stretch fabrics like those used in t-shirts. Coverstitch Machine (or coverstitch machine): This machine specializes in finishing knit or stretch garments. It creates those parallel double seams you see on t-shirt hems or sportswear, maintaining the garment's elasticity. Buttonhole and Button Sewing Machine: These are machines for industrial use or have specific functions on home sewing machines. They make the perfect buttonhole by automatically cutting the fabric and attach the buttons in seconds with high precision. Cutting machine (disc or belt): Electric cutters with circular or vertical blades that allow cutting thick blocks of fabric following the pattern lines quickly.
