I am going on record here (if I haven't already):
I INTENSELY DISLIKE DOING ALTERATIONS OF ANY KIND, IN ANY MEDIA!
It mystifies me why folks feel like they're honoring me by dumping their belongings on me to repair/refurb...for free.
I purposely do not do alterations for a living because I have no patience or interest in that line of work.
There are many who do and they would be happy for the work and the money.
2013 is where I begin my "Just Say No To Alterations" campaign.
Starting with myself!
I will not purchase skirts, pants, blouses or jackets that require hemming or tweaking in any way.
In fact, I'm seriously considering no longer making items for sale. I've lost the fun of sewing and creating, and I want to get it back!
OK...putting the soapbox away now.

I'm with you...NO ALTERATIONS!!!...for anybody...I don't care who you are! Good luck with your new campaigne!
ReplyDeleteoh no... alterations fit in the same box as mending... no, no , no... not for me either.....
ReplyDeleteTake a deep breath, put the requested alteration to the side and next time just gently say you haven't managed to get round to it.... so busy... so busy....
