How well I know that!
My mother used to take in sewing and alterations to give herself a little ego boost and to bring in a little extra money.
And I took in sewing when my son was small. It was a way to make a few extra bucks and still be with my son.
So I understand Mrs Anh!
“Anh’s Alterations” has been in their little shop near the town hall as long as we’ve lived here. They also do dry-cleaning. My dress repair is just a little thing; I might have been able to do it, with some trial and error, but I don’t have much time with my hands free, and that’s for sewing patches on Scout uniforms!
