  Hi folks,
  
  Have just moved back to Dover after 16 years away and need some curtains altering for my new house.
  
  The wonderful lady who used to make and alter things for me has retired, so can any of you recommend anyone local for me?
  
  I saw a notice at 7 Priory Road Guest House - has anyone used this lady and was she good?
  
  Thank you in advance for any help,
  
  Lita

  or talk to Louise Miller at Mascarada London Road past the Eagle she can do most anything with her sewing machines!
  If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

  Louise is often cheaper than some others as well as being an excellent seamstress.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Thank you all very much - this sort of trade is often hidden away behind another shop front and hard to find!

  Would second Jan & John's advice - get Lou to do all my suit alterations - she is great

  Just to add my penny's worth - Louise Miller @ Mascarada, 3 London Road (temporarily). Superb seamstress,
  True friends stab you in the front.

  Hi folks, Tried to get in touch with Louise by phone, e-mail and calling at shop, but to no avail. Instead tried the Haberdashery shop at the top of Ladywell and they a great job!
  Thanks for all your help
