All Test Valley Textiles Customers Past and Present
Some of you may be aware that I have recently had a health scare with suspected Mouth cancer. I am still waiting the results of a few more tests but in the words of the consultant “I am not worried as the results we have in show no signs of cancer”
During this stressful time, I have carried on working, albeit at a greatly reduced capacity with making deadlines more and more stressful.
To that end I have decided I need to slow down, concentrate on things dear to my heart and for once put myself and my health as the number one priority in my life. With a heavy heart I have contacted my 2026 brides and informed them that I cannot, now do the alterations for their big days.
Test Valley Textiles will cease work on the 21st February 2026, and close on 31st March 2026. This will allow me to finish any work I have already currently started and allow Admin (Lord Melvin) time to sort out the admin to close the business properly. I do have some customers that are awaiting a start date for their work in the New Year, but I am so sorry, I am now not going to be able to start any new work from this point.
Finally, I would like to thank all my customers past and present for their support, loyalty and for all the recommendations they gave over social media platforms over the last 11 years.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. It’s now time to put me first and enjoy any time I have left differently.
Lady Patricia
