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?

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
