Extra money can be made after work, especially if word of mouth advertising lets people know that you are capable of sewing. Hemming pants are nothing unusual for people to ask to be done, but today I was ask to take the sleeves out of the shirt. That was a first. But since he is wearing it under a uniform and sleeves can't show I battled with the Jersey knit and took the sleeves out of the shirt. Hope it is okay with the guy who ask me to do it for his son.
Gives me a bit more to stash in my vacation fund.
No, you can't get rich sewing for people, but I enjoy sewing so I might as well make use of my evening and be useful.

I sewed tonight too! I hemmed another pair of pants for Nathan. I have to blindly shorten them since I didn't pin them with him in them but I make them the right length for me and somehow they work for him (although I think I'm a wee bit taller. I'll have to pay attention this weekend.) I admit my methods are a bit unorthodox but it seems to work for Nathan so I don't mind. Maybe I can keep practicing and someday be able to do it quickly and without the over contemplating that I am known to do. Didn't use the new sewing machine yet but will give it a try one of these days. Love ya!
Thanks much for the nice comment on my blog about my mom's cards. I am so glad we have this great way to keep in touch!
