This board is a tremendous resource!

I thought of checking Etsy, I used them to find someone to replace/repair/make a specialized flower pot for me and just today finalized a purchase for a metal piece of wall art that I want made. That place is so special, but I always check their references before investing my dollars. They've never left me down yet.

@gellen If you were checking online, good luck w/that. You're going to need a good pair of shoes or let Septa do the riding in order to find one.

In Philly it's called "invisible mending." They can be found in taylor shops & cleaners. Start by calling around your neighborhood taylor shops & cleaners. They can also recommend one if your local ones do not have one.

There use to be one at the Italian Market. Unknown if he is still there. He's probably dead by now. Maybe a family member has taken over. The real good ones are generational invisible menders, passed down from father to son.
I've never seen a female invisible mender.

Also, check out South St.

Good luck!

@Mz iMac Is Fabric Row still there? My grandfather opened his own tailoring business back in the 30's on Front St.

@Mz iMac,When I purchased my first house my elderly neighbor did this. She was amazing. You could not tell where the hole or injury was after she worked on a garment.
