I hate that people expect me to fix things or alter them for free because I know how to sew. It gets really old after a while. The last straw was when a very casual acquaintance asked to alter a bra she bought that had straps that were too big. After that I just started saying no to everybody except my elderly parents and my own family. Good look with the job interviews! Hope you get one or both of them.
True story, when my parents were first married, my Dad went to work and casually mentioned to my mom that here was a pile of things that needed mending... so when he got home it was all done. And when he went to use the "hole" in the front of his boxers, she played dumb and said, "I thought you wanted ALL the holes fixed!" and he never asked her to mend again.
