mick2me 3,033 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Bought myself some new trousers, 'off the peg', they were a bit long. No problem I will get them turned up I thought? Local shop advertises alterations but costs £12.99 nearly as much the trousers (£16). Anyone know any reasonable place that does alterations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,524 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 There's a Middle-eastern chap in Victoria Market, right outside the fish/ meat market door. Had loads of alterations done by him, I think turning up trousers will be around £7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 There's a foreign lady has a little shop on Alfreton Rd just up from Forest Rd on the left does alterations. £10 for a zip change, so shouldn't be too much for turnups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
