How much do alterations cost where you live?

There is an antique sewing machine in the guest room....we could open it up and you could do your own repairs!

Awfully kind of you, Bobbi... :-) Actually, I'm shipping a more modern machine back to Canada with me. But there are still some things (like taking in waists) that are just kinda a pain in the butt to do and would rather have someone take care of for me... Outsourcing my life, one little bit at a time, so to speak. I generally draw the line where someone else can do something a lot quicker than me, and probably far better too.
