✮✮✮✮✮✮
Here’s how I set up my tiny sewing studio inside 700 square feet apartment in Texas, all cost around $100 dollars, let see what it is:
1. Ikea table | $35 with leg
2. Thread organizer | from Walmart ($10+) but you also can get it on Amazon.
3. Iron machine $8 from Walmart ($10+) but you also can get it on Amazon.
4. Sewing tool boxes $25 dollars, WalMart but you also can get it similar on Amazon.
5. File box $2.99 – 3.99 don’t remember from ikea.
6. Mason jar half dozen from the grocery store around $9.
7. Flower vase (FFRE from the chocolate container.)
8. Flower $0.97 per one from Walmart.
9. Iron stand with my mother in law, so it’s free, but you also can get used from garage sale or on Amazon:http://amzn.to/2coKI5P

So here’s my total cost: $128, not include my sewing machine, but if you can find second-hand stuff, you can even lower your budget!

If you are making clothes, this will help you a lot to see how the dress/shirt fit on, so you don't need to put it on yourself each time.
But if you making a small accessories or bag them it's not a necessary to have it

9. Iron Machine

6 Best Place To Learn Sewing Online

The internet is like a new to me, I learn so much browse online each single day. A lot of people have a designer dream (so do I, that's why I major in Fashion design) but what if you have a full-time job, 4 kids at home or some other things keep you busy, but inside of you just want to learn to sew and hard to resist that calling. Then thanks for the Internet, they make so many things to possible.

You will ask that's not the same like actual class, one by one teaching, of course, is not. There's no teacher will answer your question, and tell you-you doing a good job or some part is wrong.

But don't forget the good things of learning online, you can start whenever you feel like it, you can just wear pajamas to learn no one will judge you, and you are one step ahead of another starter'

Ok, here we go.

1.Craftsy

5 Japanese Style Sewing Pattern Book You Will Love

First of all if you love casual and elegant looking style of dress or shirt, you might fall in love with a lot of Japanese style dress sewing pattern, just like me! And today I want share with y'all some of the Japanese sewing book you must have, and you will love them, love love love, because it's really good so I said it three times. I'm really excited to share with you all here.

1. Cotton Friend

A magazine from Japan, 4 issue per year, I love them so much when I in Taiwan, it's really easy to get and reasonable price, and they are getting really popular couple years ago have Chinese version! (Oh yeah!) Now even China have their own version too.

Magazine include most of their design, usually contain 2 big page of pattern, and you need to find the way to find the design you want, in the magazine have direction. Usually will have dress, T-shirt, Shirt, Pants , bags, small , skirt, and  accessories design, really basic and classic design most of time, and they use cotton or linen material a lot.

It's not easy to get corrent issue in US, if you have friends or family are oversea, ,maybe can ask them order for you and send it to you, shipping won't be cheap, but quite worthy. Or you can order some older issue from Amazon here, they ususlly ship from Japan might take a while to be here.

Compare Chinese version and Japanese version, I love orginal one more, even I can't understand their language, just the way it is, so if you understand Japanese, you have bless!

( I don't have all the picture, so I borrow some from Taiwan online bookstore here. You also can check on more inside page there.)

5. Sweet Dress Book

By Yoshiko Tsukiori

So far most of Japanese dress design are kind of baggy, loose, I think is great because can hide my belly, but in the other way show more soft and elegant side of the woman. I love this cover with bright red shirt, you can see couple picture from Amazon they provide, looks like really easy to start with.

Including 23 pattern inside with in $14+ dollars which is really really resonable price, I think you all will enjoy this.
