What else is in our closets? Well, in mine, there are some rarely worn things that don't need an alterations expert. Sherlock may discover that I've been lazy. A sort of raincoat/raincape that I've had for years needs only one (1) big black hook and eye or one big black snap to make it very useful. I just haven't taken myself to the local hobby shop to see what they have in the sewing supplies area.
I also have an anorak for rain. Also not new. It needs some new buttons and sleeve elastic. Once again, stuff I could buy and install myself.
What? You can't sew a button? This brings us to that other dread solution:
Asking for help. You'll be surprised who knows how to do that - even military veterans have learned such things. Offering to pull some weeds or fold the laundry may be necessary, but then I'd have two decent rain jackets and you'd have . . . whatever it is.
As for that navy tank top long enough for an NBA star . . .I'll bet Sherlock is itching to put that thing in the donations basket at this very minute. But I may grab it back from him and save it for when I get my jeans altered. I'm going to. Really.
