Re: Making/altering clothes.
Gosh, you clever lot.
I used to do a lot of dressmaking in the 70s (as you did in those days).
Then I gave it up and started knitting instead.
Then gave that up and went back to dressmaking again. But, this time by hand. I found it really relaxing doing it by hand (gawd, that sounds bad
). Just using cotton fabrics mind, nothing heavy.
Then we got the boat, so I did all the fabrics and curtaining, using the machine.
Then, other's asked if I would do curtains for theirs. So I did. Which put me right off sewing. I hated doing curtains.
So I gave up again.
Fast forward...
When I had a conservatory built in however many houses ago it was, I couldn't afford blinds for the conservatory so I did those.
Then gave up.
Since moving here I've just done a couple of very small window blinds (more like panels than blinds) and cushions covers, by hand again.
Hands are letting me down now
