I still make most of my clothes, used to do alterations. Most of the people I know have quit asking me to do repairs. But when some one does ask I try to suggest someone else. I'd rather make something new than repair/mend. Sometimes DD will bring something to be fixed. I wait until she's forgotten about it and give it to Good Will. If she catches me at her house I have to give in. She has the machine I gave her years ago so she drags it out so I can fix/mend for her. The biggest problem, I'm sure all of you face is that no one wants to pay for your time, since it doesn't take long and what else do you have to do. Yea, right. My list is so long I won't live long enough to complete it if I sewed day and night. :lol: I do have to hem all DH's pants, don't mind that as he is so good to support my habit.
