My Sil, who is on a military base 2000 miles away, spent over 70.00 at JoAnn's to get denim to make uniform skirts for school for my niece. She paid a neighbor who knew how to sew to make them for her. My mom visited them a few weeks ago, and brought back the skirts to be fixed. I don't think they can be. None of the denim was prewashed, the seams were not finished and were graded in places right down to the seam line. After being washed, these skirts are literally coming apart. Money is so tight for my Brother's family, and I just want to cry at the mess, these skirts are now.
Argh. I know we all have made mistakes while sewing, and I've made my share. There are so many people out here in forums like this who are happy to help each other. I just wish this person had reached out.
