Amber Asked:
Dear Taryn, I’ve recently gone thrift shopping and purchased a gorgeous designer pencil skirt by Moschino Cheap & Chic. My one issue however, is quite a bit of the seam towards the bottom right corner on the inside has torn off. Where should I go to get that stitched back up properly? I am a little reluctant bringing my skirt to one of those cheap cleaners near my house.
Sincerely, Amber

I’ve always been incredibly lucky in the fact that my mother is a master seamstress. She made all her clothes in the 70’s and now I’m reaping the benefits of her wonderful Talent. I take everything to her, From Dresses I want to take apart and put back together to hemming a Skirt.
So My words of wisdom are….. Ask a family member ( Mother, Grandmother or Aunt ) who sews if they wouldn’t mind helping you out, Instead of trusting a tailor your unfamiliar with. Or if you have any friends who are attending school like Parsons or FIDM for Clothing Design. And if you don’t have any luck with finding Loved ones who Sew….
