Mordialloc Alterations Studio

So you may have noticed I’ve been a little quite the past six months, that’s because my dear old Dad has been very unwell. He went into the Alfred on 5 Jan and finally came home on 20 May. In between those dates he had a night here and there at home but then ended up in hospital. He’s doing much better now but it’s been a huge adjustment for all the family including my once very fit and active 86yr old Dad.

In that time sewing was put aside and only the odd hem was done (as I’m his main carer) but now I think it’s time to pick up some hours behind the machine. We still have fortnightly visits to the hospital vascular podiatrist and cardio specialists but I can now work around those appointments. Having said that I’ve had to reduce my hours to Monday-Thursday 10.30-6.30pm.

You have all been very patient with me but the bags of clothing some of you have been storing in your cars can come out now. A few delights arrived last Thursday that may keep me busy for a while, but I’m up for the challenge!!

And a neighbour who has been wanting a sewing lesson for many months finally achieved what she wanted last week which turned out amazing. Thank you for the delicious cake today.

My wonderful family have been my rock in this journey and I find myself very blessed to have them and my amazing friends in my life.

So for those of you who have alterations, please reach out, I’m back.
