I wonder then if we should not encourage a sew-sew girl or two (of, like your good lady aunt, high breeding) to join the staff of our chief plastico? Smalls mended, barathea repaired, elbows pached (only when needed never for fashionable effect), charts rejuvenated etc. Perhaps even tailoring (but then I can do that. Turn a long sleeved shirt into short? A doddle providing one can find the garden shears).
