I work inside a JoAnn's super store selling Husqvarna Viking & Singer sewing machines. We get lots of requests from people asking us if we do alterations or will embroider something for them. We're trying to sell machines not be an instant garment repair operation! grrrrrr

Oh, says he I have four pairs of new pants that need to be shortened, could you do them for me? Thinking FAST, I said Oh no, I only sew quilts. He looked at me kind of funny. Can you imagine?

Why do people think that just because you sew that you would like to do alterations? It's like getting a root canal.

Mending, hemming, alterations, quilting.....sewing is sewing and the former makes money for the last.....LOL! I'll even repurpose clothing if you want it......if you love to sew it shouldn't matter what it is.....

Maureen that was a good laugh. My sister-in-law was always bringing me items to fix that her niece had pulled the seams out of or something she told someone else I could fix as I used to make our girls their dresses when they were little. With the nieces clothes I did have fun with that one. I double stitched them and gave them back. I told her that her niece was buying clothes to tight and she got upset and said that wasn't so and they don't sew them right at the factory. I've seen the clothes on her and they are skin tight. Then I got a new machine and I made a point of saying that I couldn't use it for any other purpose that for quilting and that was the end of that. They don't bother me anymore. I do mending for our kids but it is so rare.
