Looks like I'll need to find a sail loft soon. Hopefully there's one in Horta. It's a popular stop for sailors crossing the North Atlantic so hopefully they have one. There was a cool one in St George's Harbor on Bermuda. I stopped in and took a few pictures. Notice that the sewing machines are at floor level and the operation sits in a pit so the floor is at a proper working height.
Not sure you're getting emails or these notes as I've not seen any replies, but this may help. It might be an idea to give then advance notice in case they're busy.
