Hello everyone! I’m new, to the forum and sewing in general. I’ve been living in Taiwan for the past 15 years. Some language barrier over here for me. It’s been difficult finding answers to my questions. Hope to pick your brains for info. Thanks!

Welcome.  I am sure we will be able to help.  I am good at finding pattern matches for RTW copies.

Hello and welcome from me too.

There are always language barriers for people new to sewing - plenty of technical terms to confuse anyone. But here we're always very happy to explain - any excuse to extend the sewing conversation.  :D
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

Welcome @ozzo75, we're almost neighbours - give and take the roughly 1000 miles between Taiwan and Hong Kong....  ;)

Ah cool! Nice to meet you “neighbor”. Hope that typhoon didn’t cause too much damage there. I’ve seen a few vids and it looked bad.
