I have belonged to SWN forever but this is the 1st group I've joined. I have been a lurker for years. I saw this one and decided to join. I make my living doing alterations. I had my own shop for years. I closed it and have worked at Men's Wearhouse doing alterations on Men's Suits for about 6 yrs. now. I also work out of my home doing alterations. One thing is for sure .. there are far more people who need them than there are to do them. I'm looking forward to making new friends here.
