Gardyloo2 Posted November 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2016 So I'm doing my final packing for my flight tomorrow, and I discovered the hem has come out of a pair my evening slacks. There's really no time to get them fixed here. Is there a tailor onboard who could tack the hem in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spursgirl Posted November 19, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2016 There is not an onboard tailor but I have no doubt someone will be able to repair your trousers. Someone very kindly repaired one of my shoes when the heel broke so think they are used to this sort of thing. Suggest you ask either your Stateroom Attendant or Guest Relations to help. Have a great cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 19, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2016 You can buy a hemming iron on tape which works great in situations like this. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardyloo2 Posted November 19, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Good ideas! I forgot to pack the duct tape, I'll go grab it now. First cruise without the late DH, I know I'm forgetting things. Oh well, if I have my passport, credit card and some clothes, I'll manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted November 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Most ships should have tailors on board. They are required to fix the crews uniforms. Just ask when you board ifa tailor is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv0828 Posted November 19, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Perhaps you or a neighbor has a needle and thread. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes to stitch it up. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea; I just pictured myself sitting on the balcony with a drink, stitching the hem up. There are many worse places to be sewing :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Circus Posted November 19, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'd check with your steward. Laundry services should be able to help you out. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted November 19, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I ALWAYS have a travel needle & thread with me, the type that you often find free in hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted November 20, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I ALWAYS have a travel needle & thread with me, the type that you often find free in hotels. Ditto, with a few extra safety pins just in case..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann ns Posted November 20, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I always take a mini sewing kit and some duct tape wrapped around a pencil. They both have come in handy several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, if I have my passport, credit card and some clothes, I'll manage. Duct tape wrapped around a pencil - brilliant idea! Gardyloo, my condolences on your loss. And good for you, planning to sit out on your balcony, needle and thread in hand, feeling the salt air and breezes! Please enjoy your cruise, I suspect your hem issue will be dealt with adroitly.

tv24 Posted November 20, 2016 #15 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Let me be optimistic. Recently on the Queen Mary 2 (Cunard), we had some emergency pants alterations (taken up) and repair to a sweater that had torn. Lovely woman who was thrilled to have some stitching to do. I think she was bored. A fraction of the cost of what we would have paid at home in California. So maybe AZ has such a team of talented bored professionals?
