"Invisible repairs"!
Can anyone recommend someone locally who does invisible repairs to clothing. I have a new shirt that has a small rip in it (couple of inches). I am loath to just throw it away. Thanks

Some dry-cleaners in Hertford sometimes do 'invisible repairs' but quite costly, worth asking in Sovereign cleaners they are always helpful.

If the fabric is cotton, linen or polycotton, i.e. has no stretch in it, I would repair it with Vilene Wonderweb. You can probably get it at Harts of Hertford. You just place a piece of the web behind the tear and iron it. Et voila.

Just to add that I have been into Sovereign today and Raj said he didn't see repair as being a problem! Thanks again
