Indian tales and wonky collars
Saturday, December 6th, 2014
This bloke walks into the shop…Sounds like the start of a corny 1970s joke. He didn’t look like a typical Sassy customer but he needed a favour. ‘The collar is coming away from my coat, can you do anything to fix it while I wait?’ Hmm. we don’t really do repairs and this looked like a very (make that very, very) expensive coat. But he was a nice man and in need of some assistance so out came the thread and I did my best to do a strong, but professional job. And while I stitched, he talked…about what sounded like a fascinating life. How he used to work in India and still goes back there every winter until the following spring. The kind of inspirational chit-chat that makes you want to hear more and more. This year he’s running late for his travels after having some family business to deal with locally. One of those people who you just know has an interesting story inside them.
Job done, no charge, but he insisted on somehow leaving a fiver on the cutting table. The best thing about this job is the people you meet, no question.
Taj Mahal – he’s not going to need a coat there!
A very useful sewing site
