This week I’ve rehemmed 7 yes 7 pairs of men’s pants! Getting a rep as a trouser lady, or the woman who pants!!! Also the sleeves of a suede jacket.
If you have seams that annoy you there is an iron on product called soft and stable that is just perfect to cover the irritation, as shown in photo 3.

Another busy week with work and my side hustle. One young man was very excited to be able to wear long pants every day and another client loved the fast turn around.
Please give me a call or text or Facebook message if you have any queries about things to be mended or altered. If I can’t help I can refer you to someone who can.
Photo one is the difference between pressed and unpressed - a nice touch for my client.
Photo two is a mend on the shoulder, bottom right.
Photo three and four are all the garments I’ve altered in the last week.

Finally remembered to take a photo of one lot of alterations! Rehemming these two macpac tops for an under height individual. Having a coverstitch is a must for this type of work, but the machine is a bu**er to change the colour on.

This week I’ve done some double shifts for my day job, not something I’d recommend!!! I have managed to finish Mr Hedgehog and am quite pleased with how he looks. Have also gained some more customers which is beneficial for my little business.

Thank you to those who choose to use me for your alterations, it’s really keeping my small business plodding along. This week I have two items to alter but no pictures yet. Alternatively I have been doing some hand sewing and am in the process of finishing this cute sloth that cost all of a $3 in a second hand store, and a knitted hedgee hog that hand no instructions for the arms, so I made them up!

Thank you to my new followers. Those of you I have done work for, could you please give me a google review, make sure it...

Well this week I was super busy rehemming six pairs of pants for various clients but I didn’t take any photos. However I give you one of my dog Hoki all rugged up in this cooler weather. I’ll also give you a tip when sewing on a regular machine - keep the fabric taut at the front and the back of the sewing foot and you won’t get puckered seams.

This week I tried a new technique for mending a dress jacket, whereby you pull the sleeves through an opening on an internal sleeve seam. Only twisted one seam, which was easily fixed! Also finished a jacket for me and a lovely winter skirt for Mum.

What a glorious week it’s been weather wise, so I’ve been outside rather than sewing! I even mowed our back lawns so my son didn’t have to spend two hours doing all of them. Some knitting I finally finished, a snuggly or ruggly, whatever you want to call it.
