Sewing / knitting alterations

Recommended Posts

Hello,


Can anyone recommend a local business where I can get some clothes mended? Specifically it?s a zip that needs replacing on a hooded top, the wool in my fingerless mittens has come undone around the thumbs, and I need some stitching to the seem of a top which I am reluctant to throw out. All pretty basic stuff, I just can?t use a sewing machine (not that I own one!) I can visit a shop up in town, I just thought it would good to support a local business or entrepreneur in the area. Thank you in advance!

I think the dry cleaners on the road to East Dulwich station does repairs.


They used to have a sewing machine in the window and maybe still have (unless I'm mixing them up with another dry cleaners, but I don't think so).


ETA: Or you could ask in Really Maria, the fabric/haberdashery shop near Goose Green roundabout?

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
