Stitch In Time

There are only one or two decent seamstresses in Newtownards and as far as I’m concerned the lady who owns Stitch-​in Time is the best. A friend’s mum recommended her to me, she advised me to take my slightly torn and ripped clothes here for mending. In these hard times it’s better to repair than chuck away I find. The downstairs area of the shop seems to be quite massive with two ornate sofas below the window. Upon these sofas sit her two glorious little dogs. There seems to be no need for all the space downstairs as the lady takes your stuff upstairs or out the back. The prices are reasonable and the speed of mending is fast, just a couple of days or quicker if you are in a hurry.
I bought a top, which I really loved, from Primark. I successfully caught it on a nail and it needed mending and it cost £5.00, which was the same price as the top in the first place — might seem silly but I loved that top. The rip she mended was quite big but it was totally invisible when I collected the top — she does a really good job!
