I used to do dressmaking and alterations but the alterations really got me down in the end and I stopped doing it. We had a local alterations shop but noticed, just today, that it has closed, so sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-90374559058684353722012-01-12T12:04:16.441+00:002012-01-12T12:04:16.441+00:00Excllent job, and very smart-looking shorts!

My grandma never wasted a scrap of fabric, even small bits got made into knickers (crikey), smallest scraps got made into a rag rugs. I need to be less wasteful.

Both are always busy but the village one works in a little workshop in a small shopping arcade above what was a privately owned little supermarket and is now a Sainsbury's.<br /><br />I am always altering things and keep things for ages with that intention. Sadly however I don't always get around to doing it. <br /><br />They look great and even better because they didn't cost you anything.Campfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573797205145907726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-49717210791700844072012-01-11T17:24:24.910+00:002012-01-11T17:24:24.910+00:00a shop in town where you can take all your sewing ...a shop in town where you can take all your sewing jobs <br /><br />What a great idea and practically unheard of now, in fact getting anything altered or repaired is pretty hard.
