Penny Smith who lives at Septfonds, before the Intermarche roundabout near Caussade offers a very useful service doing clothes alterations and repairs. She can make up curtains and cushion covers, clothes from patterns and my experience tells me anything which needs a needle to it. She is English but speaks very good french [ if you pass on to french friends] She can be contacted on
tel. 06 33 78 61 71
I and other friends can highly recommend her work.
