Sometimes my fabulously skilful part-time colleague Kerri is here, sometimes it’s just me… and the sheep walking past. It’s very calming. Two thirds of what I do involves making interior furnishings - Roman blinds, cushions, curtains etc; the rest is doing repairs and alterations to clothes. There’s not much equipment, really. A Brother sewing machine, which is big and sturdy, and does the simple things well, a sharp pair of scissors, a tape measure, and a set square. It pays to be extremely precise in this job. I enjoy that – I’m not like that in the rest of my life! I like to use natural fibres for curtains and blinds, like Ian Mankin’s cloth. I’m sad to see how much pollution ends up in the water – and eventually into the food chain – when you wash plastic-based clothes. It makes me happy that some people like to have their old clothes repaired instead of just buying new ones. People used to only have two or three sets of outer garments: if clothes are good quality and mended every now and again there’s no reason they shouldn’t last a lifetime. Is my job dangerous? Hardly. Though I do prick my finger about twice a week. And yes, I use a thimble. I’m amazed at how many people ask me ‘can you make this top bigger? It’s got too small for me.’ I’ve been doing this for years and have acquired a lot of skills, but I’m not a magician!
