Sewn household goods and gifts.Small handknits. Repairs and alterations, including zips and re-lining.
I have been sewing, embroidering, x-stitching and knitting for many years and still enjoy my hobbies. The last few years of my working life were spent sitting at a sewing machine in the front window of a Dry Cleaners Shop.
When I retired from full time work, I continued sewing and knitting for friends and family members, but there are only so many cushions, sets of table linen, aprons. peg bags , tote bags, any household needs.
Repairs and Alterations to clothing, curtains, bedding etc. is something else that I do. Making items last a bit longer.
New zips are asked for regularly and worn/torn linings to any garment can be replaced.
I have one lady who collects vintage dolls and I make sets of clothing for some of them.
I will consider any sewing job-no matter how small or insignificant it seems, and I understand fully when an adult wants a much loved toy from their childhood repaired, or reclothed.
