pdrnsf Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Im quite petite, and have problems buying trousers that are the right length, there are plenty of cheap trs about, but always too long. Does anyone know a cheap place around town/eccy road that does alterations? I know i could do them myself, but sewing is def not my strong point!!! Thanks in advance xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kay_cee Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Sorry, prdnsf - I don't know anywhere in the vicinity you mentioned, but if you're ever up around Hillsborough, "Stitch-It" on Holme lane are very good and reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartempion Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Again, not where you said, but there's a place in Meadowhall on the lower floor near(ish) M&S and I think it's called Quickstitch. That's not very expensive and they're very good and usually do it fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdrnsf Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Jake!!! Cheeky! Not too familiar with Hillsborough, so i might try Quickstich, thanks tartempion! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdrnsf Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just rang quickstitch, and i think there name should be expensive stitch!!!!! The prices starts at £10.99! The trousers themselves would barely cost that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartempion Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 ooops... Sorry about that. My sister uses them all the time. She must be prepared to pay more than I thought. I'm surprised cos she's a student. Aren't they all supposed to be poor? Have you thought about cheating and using that iron-on tape stuff. It looks great if you do it properly and it's not that difficult to work out. I've even done it so it can't be too complicated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
