Sewing / knitting alterations

Recommended Posts

Hello,


Can anyone recommend a local business where I can get some clothes mended? Specifically it?s a zip that needs replacing on a hooded top, the wool in my fingerless mittens has come undone around the thumbs, and I need some stitching to the seem of a top which I am reluctant to throw out. All pretty basic stuff, I just can?t use a sewing machine (not that I own one!) I can visit a shop up in town, I just thought it would good to support a local business or entrepreneur in the area. Thank you in advance!

I think the dry cleaners on the road to East Dulwich station does repairs.


They used to have a sewing machine in the window and maybe still have (unless I'm mixing them up with another dry cleaners, but I don't think so).


ETA: Or you could ask in Really Maria, the fabric/haberdashery shop near Goose Green roundabout?

    • I agree re rents, but I don't think you can compare Croydon and Bromley with East Dulwich. Different kettles of fish. They both had, or possibly still have, big what used to be called "shopping centres" rather than just high streets. Also shopping habits are changing. Where once you would go to a physical  shop to buy things, now many things are bought online, where apart from the convenience there is more choice, and you can easily compare prices and see reviews. Re Lidl in Dulwich, I knew a very well off person with a house on the Thames in London plus various other places including a flat in Venice (!), who shopped in Lidl because she said their parmesan was excellent 😀 My grandmother used to be very sniffy about M&S (in the days before it became known by its initials) 😀 I think it would be great to have a Lidl nearer than Camberwell or Peckham, but I can't see it happening, sadly. I'd also like to see a Waitrose, preferably replacing Sainsbury's, but that isn't going to happen either, also sadly.
    • An Aldi or Lidl at the Harvester site would be useful. But, there’s a Lidl close by in Peckham.
    • Vispring, I'm not a poet so I don't have enough vocabulary to gush about it, best money I ever spent. Open your wallet, they say you spend a third of your life rafting on it (probably more these days with Netflix).
    • Ah wonderful, I'll pop in and see him One more day and then the fundraiser will close. Just £70 needed to get to £1,500. Thank you all for your generosity and support. Private messages have been lovely.
