You are correct - our workshop looks just like the picture - or at least that is the atmosphere. Although we play soft Thai music instead of Christmas songs and we have seamstresses making our ties and pocket squares instead of elves.
Amazingly, I still think of Sam (Samantha) as a baby but she is almost six now and I think that soon I will be working for her. She has great eyesight like Noina her mother (20/10) and will soon be making pocket squares - at least that is what she says, ties are a ways off...
Benjamin who is almost 4 takes great pleasure in sweeping the floors after school.

Yes, my forest green Hober cashmere, in fact. But it's back on the rack now. You may thank ace that it is not currently here on display.
He hurt my feelings.

But aren't you supposed to use a match flame to light a cigar?

I understand that you are joking but you got me thinking about the Italian documentary film that has been promoting its trailer - the old tailors talk about learning to sew when they were young.
I think that if you don't start young you will rarely get the small details of making clothing - very much like sports - you typically need to start playing ball almost as soon as you can run.
I know that when I was young I started by sweeping the floors on the weekends in one of my father's clothing factories. This was when they still had lots of clothing factories in the New York area.
Then we would go to Little Italy for Italian food and cannolls . I remember my father always looking in store windows and he would talk to me about fabrics and colors.
