Hahahaha. I know the $29 was insane. I think b/c it was Redmond, people would pay it.

But yeah the food talk is like an epidemic around here. All the food, all the time! I try so hard to be good!

I’m actually having a hard time wrapping my brain around the concept of hemming a pair of jeans. If they’re too long, I just cuff them up. I’m tall though, so if I have to cuff them it’s not much – I guess if one was shorter and the jeans weren’t petite, it could be an issue.

As for hemming general, I had a skirt once that I “hemmed” with a stapler – LOL! It was an emergency repair that I intended to sew when I got home from work and never got around to it. That staple held up for 2 years of washing weekly. Cheapest alteration I ever had. :)

Sue– The Unique Stitch glue is permanent, basically, but you could probably pull off a patch and replace it with another. You couldn’t remove one and expect the fabric to look good again uncovered. I used it for my kids’ Camp Fire uniform emblems. Sometimes I’d glue them on and then sew a stitch or two on the corners that might come loose.

I was at Pacific Fabrics the other day and heard a clerk telling someone that she’d made a tote bag using only Unique Stitch and no sewing — and it held together! That’s what reminded me of it.

Hopefully this question isn’t too stupid :) I have never actually had a dress altered before (other than my wedding dress)! Do I need to make an appointment or just drop by?

Hey erincorrine –

There is no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to matters of alterations to clothing. Important stuff!! This is environmental couture!! Reducing (if we are lucky)and reusing, right? ;)

Actually, if you stop in, she might be tied up sometimes, but she sets informal appointments if she is. If you are close by, just drop in and see if she can work with you. If not, she’ll tell you when another time is better. I don’t have her phone number. Enjoy!
