Sewing Services
Cathy began her sewing career early – being given a small sewing machine when she was a preschooler, so that she could sew along at her mother’s side, without breaking the side table of her mother’s machine. During school she sewed many wardrobe items. With a career of over 50 years, she has now broadened her attention and skills to many other levels.
With a serger both domestic and industrial machines in her workshop Cathy can repair almost anything. The key for anyone seeking services is ‘just ask’. Likely there is an answer.
