In my post “Seven Global Concepts”, a fellow blogger explained Kaizen as a Japanese concept for continuous improvement. DfGI or Days for Girls International grew their global influence by embracing Kaizen. Their website explains their 25+ design revisions developing their reusable feminine hygiene kits.
On a local level, Elfcroft applied Kaizen to the sewing room. My cabinet with two drop leaves spans almost seven feet (great for curtain projects, etc. not so great for hundreds of DfGI items per year). I noticed that working on DfGI kits would be easier if the machine was several inches lower. No height adjustment is available in the machine or table. I had the opportunity to move the machine to a sturdy, small folding table….and did just that! The sewing cabinet is working as the cutting table (with one leaf down). So far, so GOOD 🙂
