It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I’ve got some exciting news! Starting in September, I’m be offering clothing repairs and alterations at the Saturday Farmer’s Market at Cottonwood Falls Park. I’ll be able to complete small jobs on the spot. Bigger jobs can be dropped off for pick-up the following week. CASH ONLY.

A friend asked me to repair a pair of vintage curtains damaged by mice. Instead of putting standard patches on them, I covered the holes with mice. What do you think?
