I have two studios… they cater for my every need….

3 sewing machines, special chairs, a 15 ft desk etc. etc.

This man sews in a tiny space facing the road. He sets up his treadle every day. Cars whizz past, no cupboards, no electricity, it's hot and the air is full of fumes… but this is where he works.

In the evening his trusty treadle is packed away in the corner and covered in plastic garbage bags until the next day.

This lady sits at her sewing machine right by the train line.
