Maybe its time more people learn how to sew.
- wonderwonder 4y agoMaybe, but I would prefer they just sent me a proper pair of jeans. I do agree though, sewing appears to be a dying art in laymen.
- bsder 4y agoSewing denim, leather, canvas, etc. is generally a pain in the ass. Even old consumer grade machines would have a tough time. You either needed an industrial machine or an old-school treadle machine that you could overpower. What I want is someone that I can pay to sew stuff for me and have it not suck. The problem is that someone who does that is continually having to hunt down new clients since their stuff doesn't fall apart. And they can't charge enough because the crappy stuff is soooo cheap that it sets the floor of the pricing. If we want artisans to make a comeback, we're going to have to help them somehow.
