sewbizgirl my hat is off to you. I used to do alterations . . . not so many anymore .. . I, too would put off the dastardly deed until I couldn't any longer. Yep, I would sew lots of other stuff and then finally settle down and finish the alterations.
I'm still mulling around what the May MR will be - I found 2 inspirations out on Pinterest one of which could make you think and then agree that yes, that would definitely affect your gardening
that's all the hint on that one.
