Globus Clothing Company

The workshop is situated at S. F. 272 Athupalayam North in Sri Sathi Nagar, over in Thirumurugan Poondi. It’s a functional space where we handle all the clothing production for Globus Clothing Company. We have a few rows of machines and a large table in the middle for spreading out the fabric rolls. The walls have some water stains from the last big rain, but the roof stays dry now. We don't have much in the way of furniture, just the work stools and a couple of racks for the finished items. Working in Thirumurugan Poondi means you are always around other people doing similar things. You can hear the sounds of other workshops down the street. We deal with various types of cloth, and some are harder to sew than others. Our fingers get pretty tired and sore by the end of the day. The lighting in Sri Sathi Nagar isn't always perfect, so we have some extra lamps clamped to the tables. We keep our thread organized by color in old plastic bins. It’s not the most organized system, but we can find what we need eventually. When a big order is due, we stay late and the tea helps us keep going until the job is done. It’s a straightforward life here. We just focus on the fabric and the machines at Athupalayam North. There is always something to mend or a new set of patterns to cut.
