I hate any kind of patchwork on jean's which my daughter and her two children always seem to need done. And zippers, the females in my family seem to break zippers. I say no or don't say anything and they take the hint. However, being a obease piette female,[and with the size changes in the united states, piette isn't as short as it was in the sixties], anything I buy I must alter for myself, if they chatch me while I'm sewing for myself, and what they want won't take more than 30 minutes, and if possible, I will fix one thing of theirs.
