Sewing can be fun!

When you think of sewing you think, me! I don't think so. But in reality it can be fun. I have been sewing since I was little, thanks to my mom. I have learned that if you start off slow and easy you can make anything.

Think about it, we tend to give away clothing that needs a little TCL. Why not learn to sew that button on or learn to do a hem. We need to learn repair and wear are clothes in these economic times. Don't be afraid to ask for help you'd be surprised how much money you can save when you don't have to buy a new pair of pants or askirt.

Another way to save is go to a resale shop. You would be surprised what you can find at a fraction of the cost of a new dress to outfit. In owing my own alterations shop, I have seen brides who have come in with the most beautiful gown and did not spend a lot on it. Think about your Mon's dress. Sometimes it can be redesigned or modified to have a new look.

Even bridesmaids dress or prom dress, resale shops carry these dresses that may have been worn once. And the best part is the person who bought paid a lot more that you will be. Once that is taken care, that's where I come in. A little bit of altering to make it fit and no one will ever know it came from a resale shop.

For those who are interested in getting that prom dress taken care of for 2009, I am offering a 10% discount. If you are interested check out my web site www.caronsbridalalterations.com
