A few weeks into term time I bought a pair of jeans. They were too long but I just could not be bothered to have them shortened. When I arrived at home for Christmas doing what I normally do (fold the hem over instead) mum commented on how untidy it looked.

I had seen the email that Helen had just joined an offered her sewing skills. She lives just up the road so I contacted her, dropped the trousers off and a few hours later they were returned to me all done. All that for a gem, it got mum off my back and I look ready for Christmas now.

Thank you Helen for turning my trousers up so well and speedily.
