My Mum brought some day dresses with her, which she asked me to shorten.
She was delighted with the first one, and asked me if I could do the sleeves as well. The two sleeves had to be slightly different lengths (she has a rotator cuff injury which affects the position of one arm).
It took me a while to do the four. There was a fair bit of unpicking (of my own work) involved, and I must have done each hem at least twice.
But they are done now, she's happy. I'm happy.
I'm counting it as 1 crafty thing. It's been ages since I've added anything.
