Alterations & Repairs
Workmanship guarantee
I stand behind my work. If something I’ve sewn comes undone under normal wear, bring it back and I’ll happily fix it at no cost.
Pricing
I price by complexity rather than by the hour. Every garment is different, so this approach ensures the price reflects the skill, care, and construction work involved, not just time spent at the machine. My goal is always a result that looks intentional, well-finished, and worth wearing.
If you’re unsure whether something is possible or worth altering, I’m always happy to offer honest advice before you decide.
-
Straightforward work with minimal unpicking and easy fabrics. Examples include simple hems, elastic replacement, small repairs, shortening straps, or adding darts.
-
Work that involves shaping, fitting, or careful finishing. Examples include taking in shirts or dresses, waistband adjustments, adding a neckline insert, lined hems, sleeve shortening, or standard zipper replacement.
-
More involved alterations requiring precision or problem-solving. Examples include lined or tailored garments, delicate or slippery fabrics, reshaping bodices or armholes, bias-cut garments, formalwear, or invisible zippers.
How it works
Step 1: Booking
Use the booking form to tell me what you need. The more detail you include, the better I can understand what you’re hoping for. I’ll be in touch within 2 business days to confirm expectations, pricing, and drop-off details.
Step 2: Sewing
Please allow for a two week turnaround. I may complete your job sooner, but as a stay-at-home-mum this window ensures I can balance home and work sustainably. I will issue an invoice when your job is ready for collection.
Step 3: Pickup & review
On pickup, please inspect the garment to make sure it meets your expectations. I will send you a link to leave a review on my Google store.
