Sewing repairs can prolong the life of your clothes


I read some place that all good business have a clear and defined mission statement. I had not been able to come up with one until now.


My Mission statement is:

To Create, To Embelish, To Repair.


To Repair: I have noticed in these economic tight times that it can be better to spend $10.-20.00 to have something repaired than to go out and spend $40.-50.00 on something new. I have had several repair jobs lately. I have a friend who's hem came out of her pants and another who's daughter had a hoodie that needed some seams restitched, come to me and ask if these could be fixed. They were ready to throw them away because they could not sew or mend it themselves. Sometimes we just have that one shirt or outfit that we just love and can't bear to part with even though it needs some repair. I worked at a Bridal shop for awhile and learned to repair a lot of garments. Brides can be hard on clothes! So if you need some pants hemmed, seams restitched, Boy or Girl scout patches sewn on, or some other sewing need, email me and we can get together.


I ran across the old saying that I think is great to remember these days.

"Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!"
