NIMble Thimble

Well this was supposed to be a simple let out the trousers job...until I actually went to work on them.

Found a bad previous alteration job (not by me), and a missing belt carrier (second and third pics)
Think I made it as good as I can(first pic)! Used the singular belt carrier and with a bit of jiggery pokery made it into a matching pair.

Another winter coat ready for the approaching season.

Raid the backs of your ward robes and understairs cupboards, pull out your coats and check them over for rips and tears; most can be repaired and for the fraction of the cost of a new coat.

When the trip of a lifetime to see the eldest Goddaughter get married, becomes a bus man's holiday and you end up shortening the Groom's and groomsmen's trousers 48 hrs before the wedding......any more alterations before the big day?

Well its a wrap on prom season 2023 for my little busy Thimble. What a delightful, polite set of young ladies i have altered dresses for this year...every dress was a different challenge and not one simple hem amongst them (I like challenges, just not all together😏).

My sewing machines need a break and a quick once over before the summer/autumn wedding season hits.

Thank you to all who've recommended me especially to Linda at
