Cheongsam tailoring tools: Copper glue scrappers
Copper glue scrappers

Hong Kong Museum of History collection
While making a cheongsam, the tailor would mix flour, hot water and white alum into a glue and apply it to certain parts of the fabric. Once ironed, the fabric is stiffened, making it easier to cut, fix and sew.
