I do NOT sew. It is lucky that I can quilt, but I can't sew.
Need a zipper fixed, an alteration or repair? take it to the Dry Cleaners to have it replaced, usually for $10 or less (based on your location)I've already told 2 of my kids that one.
Sew on a button? ... here is a needle and thread, you are old enough to do it yourself ( I tell my adult daughters)
I only make quilts for family and I am so far behind! (I also will make one for friends, but only because I want to not because I'm asked to ... but I won't tell the friend until I present it to her .. oh, no, all my friends are quilting friends, they make their own quilts!)
For the grand kids I will do anything I can ... but I am still NOT a sewer, really I do not sew.
Trying to be nice, helpful etc., a few years ago I tried to help a young gal with a quilt that she completely botched up, couldn't even sew the blocks in a row. I ripped out, showed her how to do it, ended up doing it all while she watched me. The next thing I know she is bringing over her daughter's jeans asking me to hem the bottoms. Yep, I did it and gratefully I moved away before she asked me to do more. She really, really couldn't have done it herself, but I should have told her to take it to the cleaners for alterations! dum me.
Fabric? You wanna give me fabric I will gladly take it off your hands. Then if I find that I don't like it I will offer it on Freecycle. All my friends are quilters, they give me scraps etc and I keep it.
