Whilst I was thinking brown thread I altered a knit top that was too loose in the body, cut apart and completely reassembled a knit top, shortened some trousers, and sewed a button back on to a skirt.I also put a skirt waiting to be altered into the charity shop bag because I didn't like it enough to put the effort into the alterations.
I've had enough of brown now and have just rethreaded the machines into sunset orange for the next item!
