Anyone know where I can get some heavy fabric sewn up for repairs for grundens. Seams have opened up. Still good, don’t want to sport a duct tape look. Not yet anyway

I've had Helly Hansen bib and jacket altered at a reputable tailor, the stitching was tight with heavy thread.

I have an old Singer commercial machine,,, it’ll handle leather…

If you’re ever down here we could try it…. :-)

Could be a challenge getting to the seam under the needle on this standard table..
I dun no ….. ;-)

If you’re interested I’ll see what mine look like on the table…

They make colors duct tape…. ;-)

Any local sailmakers? Or awning/canvas shops?

Another option might be a shoe repair shop.
