NObody wants to "fix" things any more; doesn't matter what it is. Nor do many want to do small home repair jobs. They just want the high dollar jobs.
When I was a kid everything got fixed, repaired, used til it was no longer possible. Now things are SO cheap it's just easier for most to toss it and get new; New is NOT always better. Good for you for fixing it yourself; I do a lot of that myself if I can. And you're right there is so much fabric out their calling my name (maybe yours too)!
