The tools needed to make a cheongsam include: an iron, a needle, thread, a ruler.
Of course, there are many other sewing tools⋯⋯, but these are only auxiliary in nature, and not essential.
Many people may mistakenly believe that making a Chinese dress or other clothes requires many advanced tools, but the situation is just the opposite. One of the characteristics of Chinese clothes is that they focus on handwork, and with just a needle, a thread, and a calm heart, a valuable Chinese dress can be made. In fact, even without a sewing machine, we can substitute with a hand needle. There is a saying in the clothing industry, "three parts sewing, seven parts ironing", which shows the importance of the iron in making clothes.
Although there are many modern tools that can indeed help us finish making clothes faster and more conveniently, we will also introduce some practical tools in the course. At the same time, considering the difficulties students may encounter when purchasing tools and materials, we provide some practical tools and materials that can be purchased together with the course, making it easier for students to complete the course.
