CLOTHING ALTERATIONS

Altering and repairing your garments will allow them to remain as much-loved favourite pieces in your wardrobe, extending their life and keeping them from landfill.

I have 35+ years of expertise in sewing and garment construction, and am skilled in working with many different styles and fabrics.

Studio visits are by appointment only. Please get in touch to make a time for a consult for your clothing alterations. I have limited time each week for this work, so make sure you allow plenty of time before any special occassions etc. A surcharge may apply for alterations needed in a hurry!

Also…you could come to a sewing class, learn these skills and do your own alterations!!
