A tailor or clothes repairer who alters and finishes garments, especially by repairing worn areas.
From 'bushel' in its textile sense, plus '-er' agent suffix. The tailoring meaning of 'bushel' may derive from German 'Büschel' (tuft or bundle), referencing the tufted repairs made to cloth.
Bushellers were the unsung heroes of sustainable fashion before it was trendy—they kept people's wardrobes wearable long before 'fast fashion' became a problem!
