Title: sewing/alterations
Post by: suzi Q on April 01, 2008, 11:51:43 AM: Would anyone know where I can get some sewing done.
Bringing over two bed sets and the valance sheets are too long for Turkish beds. Anywhere, calis or fethiye and done within the week please.

She's ok at understanding (she may be better now it was some time that I went, and my Turkish was minimal then)... but a picture always helps

She is making my wedding dress, its not a big elaborate one, it is a simple "tasteful" little thing (well not so little), I will model it for anyone who is there in September. 8)

Post by: SEVIYORUM on April 07, 2008, 22:01:01 PM: There's a fantastic little old man in Gunlukbasi that does alterations - Reasonable prices & if you take it in in the morning he could have it done by the evening, he's excellent!
His shop is not very noticeable but its just before the supermarket, not far from the cake shop

Not as cheap as he used to be, think he's also caught on that if your not Turkish he can get away with charging more.:-\
