Hands up Troops .....who does there own sewing !

[csservices]

Yep only needle and thread now, though I did have an old hand driven singer sewing machine at one time for making up dog leads etc, my mum always told us all as kids that she would make sure we could all cook clean and sew

Been sewing my torn waterproofs tonight because it's gonna hiss down tomorrow..... needle n thread job whilst watching something on TV about the Suffragettes (fascinating program).

 

I'm too slow at this sewing lark so my partner has taken over! Lol

[Stephen Blair]

me missus used to do me sewing but then i discovered 'Copydex' glue, sewing no longer required.

[Mark Bolam]

Never been able to use a machine, but I can sew buttons on and do basic repairs.

 

Good thread.

Same here, needle and thread, but can also do straight lines on a machine.

Needle and thread man, never used a machine. When I was younger and still living at home if anyone needed something patching they always came to me.

 

I've take trousers up too but no fancy tailoring I'm afraid; it's such a good skill to learn.

[Mike Hill]

I sew better than my wife. I used to do all the repairs on my saw breeks, but there's a lassie in the next village who is a seamstress and has an open fire. Didn't take too long to come to an arrangement.

 

Nothing like the feeling of warmth from an open fire on your bum cheeks.

I use duck tape patches and araldite thread. No needle required. Go easy on the hardener, and leave the item of clothing overnight before putting it on...
