i did tailoring in college for the extra money and then after marriage out of boredom, especially at home with babies. i liked making my own hours and shooing away people i didn't like. i did this for (counting on fingers) over 30 years, dressmaking and quilting. now only as special favors for special people. i have always garment sewn for husband, daughter, son and me.
i absolutely excel at shirts, bound buttonholes and pockets, creative zipper insertion and strapless dresses and gowns with boning. also, most difficult of all, pants that actually fit. tailoring is a great hobby and a big-ticket service.
are you thinking of trying your hand?

and i'm modest, too. what else can you want?
