Sewing person needed.
I have a jacket which has no button hole in the lapel. I have asked three different dressmakers/tailors in Accrington if they could cut one in and stitch round but none could.
Do any of our members know of anybody in Hyndburn who could take on what I thought was a simple task?
I would pay of course for the service.

Re: Sewing person needed.
Thank you Frank, I am not needing the jacket for a week or two so there is no rush.

Re: Sewing person needed.
She is one who wouldn't do it Cashy.
Another was on Warner street and one upstairs in market.
The lady on Church street changed the brass buttons for white ones on a coat for me and is very reasonable.

Re: Sewing person needed.
I think there is a shop on Abbey Street(next to the Arden pub) that does alterations.
it might be that these folk who say they can't do it, think it is too piddling of a job.
I can do buttonholes, but not to the professional standard that you would want Russell.

Re: Sewing person needed.
Thank you Margaret.
I'll try the one on Abbey street on Thursday while I'm nearby at the Blind society unless something else crops up in the meantime.
It's a cream jacket I had bought and I want the button hole stitching round in dark red.
Why, it's just something I fancy having.
I don't like putting pins in to hold a poppy or carnation and being cream it would show after they had been removed.

Re: Sewing person needed.
If you fancy something, then go for it.
I would be even more worried about me doing a button hole in red...as I say...I can do them but like them to be hidden...purely functional are my buttonholes....not to be shown off...a bit like my belly button.....it did the job, but isn't great to look at!

Re: Sewing person needed.
Well I've tried to find a shop next to or near Arden Inn which looks like it might have a sewing lady but none exist.

Re: Sewing person needed.
She's OK on Church street but wouldn't do a button hole.

Re: Sewing person needed.
Sorry for misleading you Russell, shows how long it is since I have been on that stretch of road to notice.
