Piles o’ Mending

by @ 1:46 pm. Filed under Sewing, Talk about the fashion

Yes, I am still sewing.  And yes, I owe you a ton of pictures.

For the last few months I have been working on several mending/minor alteration projects for friends.   And by several I mean several trash bags full (friends and family bulk rate special). Many people don’t like mending projects (and they will charge you by the piece) but I really don’t mind them.  I find that I learn a lot about construction flaws when I do repair work.  I also like finding creative ways to save garments.  Patching holes, replacing closures, etc…

In between these projects I did manage to squeeze in some sundresses, a costume, and a jacket.
