help needed with sewing/in liverpool

roryk83

Sorry wasn't sure where to post this

basically all the buttons have fallen off my coat :mad: - espically annoying cos its a really nice coat and cost a few bob

unfortuantely I never learnt how to sew, and I dont have the time to do so now

I live in Liverpool and was wondering if anybody knew a: whether there is anywhere in the city centre where i can get them sewn back on or b: whether a dry cleaners would be able to do it?

thanks

P.S please dont laugh at me for my lack of domestic skills:money:

Just get a girlfriend, then ask her nicely

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

Lets just say I can sew better than the girlfriend - I think Id come home to find the house on fire if she were to try to sew it

Try the dry-cleaners then they do alterations so probably they will

Another vote for drycleaners, alternatively phone round or pop into a few shops selling wool, fabric etc and see if they can give you any contacts!

I tried telling DS1 he couldn't leave home until he'd learned to sew a button on, but a) he didn't listen and b) he never wears clothes with buttons!
