Stitching Together A Business In The Garment District During COVID arrow Sewers at the factory Beth Fertig / WNYC Visiting Lisa Sun’s factory on West 39th Street feels like going back to the 1960s. It’s a wide open space with mostly women sitting at sewing machines in the front. In the back, workers operate big ironing boards that press layers of fabric together like a panini sandwich. The steam comes from a boiler through pipes draped from above. “You need a certificate for a boiler because of the heat that comes from pressing,” said Sun, while showing how this machinery pre-shrinks a woolen jacket to the perfect size. Old-fashioned equipment is all over the factory. A black Singer sewing machine is used for uniforms because they have thicker fabric.
