If anyone out there can recommend someone who can help, I have a flimsy dress which seems to have; which I though was a catch, but it turns out to be two small Moth Holes, I have taken it to a cleaners who suggested a patch which of course would be seen, as it was an expensive dress, I would welcome any names of anyone you might have used and found to be good at this sort of repairs. Thanks

Hi Pipie

I have taken items into exotic kumas before just to shorten them, but they made a bad job of it by sewing all they way through the material, but thanks for the suggestion and getting back to me.

Hi Gillken

I must be the worst person to advise to try sewing, my buttons drop off after 5 mins of putting them on, was advised in my needlework class at school to take up woodwork, there's your answer, never heard of hair being used, but then again I'm not the person who would know. thanks again
